FOREWORD 

Iong  before  the  United  States  entered  the  war,  many  of 
->  the  old  boys  of  St.  George's  School,  true  to  their  train- 
ing of  "learning  to  succour  the  oppressed,"  had  taken  ac- 
tive part  in  the  struggle.  Ambulance  and  camion  service 
and  active  service  with  the  Lafayette  Escadrille,  and  with 
the  French,  British,  and  Canadian  armies  called  to  them, 
and  even  before  the  middle  of  April,  1917,  three  old  boys 
had  died.  As  soon  as  America  went  into  the  war  the  St. 
George's  boys  answered  the  challenge,  and  soon  news  be- 
gan to  come  of  the  boys  who  had  offered  themselves  in  ever 
increasing  numbers  until  over  eighty  per  cent  of  the  entire 
Alumni  body  was  enrolled.  Such  a  record  of  loyalty  to  duty 
deserves  a  permanent  form,  in  order  that  future  generations 
of  St.  George's  boys  may  know  what  their  older  brothers 
did. 

The  task  of  preparing  such  a  record  has  been  no  easy 
one,  but  it  has  been  one  of  intense  interest  and  pleasure. 
The  work  of  collecting  the  material  for  this  book  has  taken 
the  greater  part  of  eight  months.  Too  much  recognition  of 
their  assistance  cannot  possibly  be  given  to  the  large  pro- 
portion of  the  men  in  service  who  replied  promptly  to  the 
requests  for  information.  The  records  of  a  few  men  have 
been  hard  to  get.  After  persistent  effort,  however,  the  re- 
jwrts  were  all  sent  in,  the  results  tabulated  and  submitted 
for  correction  and  approval.  Every  care  has  been  taken  to 
make  these  records  accurate,  and,  as  far  as  possible,  com- 
plete. One  record  is  incomplete  and  one  is  missing,  both 
due  to  inability  to  secure  any  information.  Any  other  omis- 
sions are  due  to  the  same  cause. 

This  work  could  never  have  been  done  without  the  en- 
couragement and  assistance  of  the  Faculty  and  the  Alumni.

T  RATER 

FOR  THE  GRADUATES  OF  ST.  GEORGE'S  SCHOOL 
IN  THE  SERVICE  OF  THEIR  COUNTRY 

WE  pray  especially  for  those  Thy  sons  xvho  have  gone  forth 
from  this  School,  and -who  in  this  day  of  war  and  tumult  are 
offering  their  lives  in  battle  that  right  and  justice  may  still  live. 
Fortify  their  hearts,  and  strengthen  their  hands;  keep  them  brave  and 
steadfast.  May  they  fght  to  bring  victory  to  our  arms  and  honour  to 
our  name. 

In  encircling  dangers,  and  amid  scenes  of  death,  keep  them,  O  Lord 
of  Hosts,  xve  beseech  Thee,  for  only  in  Thee  can  they  be  safe.  If  they 
are  wounded  or  prisoners,  comfort  them  with  Thy  presence,  and  in 
Thy  good  time  bring  them  again  to  their  homes. 

Or,  if  it  is  Thy  holy  will  that  they  do  not  return,  but  that  they 
give  life  itself,  then  bless  them,  0  Lord  of  Glory,  in  their  deaths,  and 
unite  them  forever  with  Tliee. 

And  for  those  of  our  number  who  have  fallen,  we  pray  that  Thy 
perpetual  light  may  shine  upon  them,  and  that  they  mai/  be  counted 
worthy  to  see  Thy  face,  through  the  great  Captain  of  our  Salvation, 
Jesus  Christ  our  Lord.  Amen. 


ST.  GEORGE'S  SCHOOL  IN  THE  WAR 


WAR  DATS  AT  THE  SCHOOL 

It  is  a  common  saying  that  a  school  is  known  by  the 
kind  of  boys  it  graduates.  It  is  not,  however,  always 
easy  to  characterize  the  graduates  of  a  school,  for,  after  leav- 
ing school  and  college,  they  scatter  over  the  country,  and 
render  the  gathering  of  exact  data  impossible.  Especially 
is  this  true  of  the  newer  schools,  whose  graduates,  for  the 
most  part,  have  not  established  themselves  in  business  or 
the  professions.  The  question,  therefore,  as  to  the  sort  of 
boys  that  come  from  this  or  that  school  must  ordinarily 
writ  many  years  for  an  answer. 

Great  faith  is  required  of  every  educator  of  youth.  He 
watches  with  anxious  care  the  halting  progress  of  the  boys 
committed  to  his  trust,  and  hopes  and  prays  that  they  may 
overcome  the  temptations  of  boy  hood  and  develop  into  Chris- 
tian men.  Often  his  hopes  are  seemingly  unanswered,  and 
he  must  wait  long,  patient  years  before  his  work  bears  fruit. 
When  visible  expression  is  given  of  the  ideals  learned  at 
school,  the  teacher  may  well  rejoice  that  his  work  has  not 
been  in  vain. 

But  the  Great  War  has  furnished  an  opportunity  not 
given  in  ordinary  times  for  the  youth  of  this  country  to 
show  their  true  mettle.  The  response  to  the  call  to  serve  will 
ever  remain  one  of  the  glorious  pages  of  American  history. 
And  nowhere  has  that  response  been  more  spontaneous  and 
immediate  than  among  the  graduates  of  our  preparatory 
schools  and  colleges.  Once  the  opportunity  of  service,  of 
leading  others  to  defend  their  ideals  of  liberty,  had  offered 
itself,  all  other  considerations  vanished,  and  boys  who  had 
never  before  thought  of  war  gave  themselves  a  willing 
sacrifice  to  the  cause  of  freedom. 

From  this  School  alone  two  hundred  and  eightv-nine

ST.  GEORGE'S  SCHOOL 

former  boys,  or  eighty  per  cent  of  the  total  body  of  alumni, 
were  in  some  form  of  national  war  service.  Of  these,  one 
hundred  and  forty-four  went  overseas,  while  the  others  were 
still  in  training  or  in  service  at  home  when  the  armistice 
was  signed.  Of  these  men  fifteen  will  never  return,  and  it 
is  to  them  that  the  following  pages  are  dedicated. 

Tfiese  laid  the  world  away;  poured  out  the  red 
Sxveet  xvine  of  youth;  gave  up  the  years  to  be 
Ofxvork  and  joy,  and  that  unhoped  serene, 
That  men  call  age;  and  those  xvho  xvould  have  been, 
Tfieir  sons,  they  gave,  their  immortality. 

Before,  however,  the  individual  war  records  of  the  former 
boys  of  St.  George's  School  are  given,  it  may  not  be  amiss 
to  tell  briefly  the  part  the  boys  at  School,  too  young  to  serve, 
played  during  the  four  and  a  half  years  of  war. 

In  September,  1914,  the  war  looked  far  away  to  Ameri- 
can eyes,  and  the  great  questions  at  issue  were  not  imme- 
diately recognized  as  our  concern.  Our  country  was  slow 
to  be  aroused,  not  actually  declaring  war  until  the  spring 
of  1917- 

In  the  winter  of  1914  and  the  early  months  of  1915,  St. 
George's  School  formed  a  Battalion  of  Infantry,  and  was 
thus  one  of  the  first  private  Boarding  Schools  to  see  the 
wisdom  of  preparing  in  earnest  for  the  great  conflict.  The 
idea  of  forming  this  Battalion  sprang  from  the  boys  them- 
selves, and  service  in  it  was  from  the  start  voluntary,  re- 
maining so  until  1918,  when  the  School  required  all  boys, 
physically  fit,  to  take  part  in  the  drill.  The  first  year  seventy 
boys  joined,  and,  after  that,  practically  the  whole  School. 
The  Battalion  had  the  good  fortune,  from  the  beginning,  to 
be  trained  by  officers  detailed  to  instruct  it,  through  the 
courtesy  of  the  Commanding  Officer  of  Narragansett  Bay 

[4   ] 


IA*  THE  WAR 

at  Fort  Adams,  —  a  fact  which  accounted  in  large  measure 
for  the  continuous  success  of  the  Battalion. 

The  Cadets  were  given  their  first  instruction  by  Lieu- 
tenant C.  A.  Phelan,  U.  S.  A.,  a  graduate  of  West  Point. 
Lieutenant  Phelan  was  able  from  the  beginning  to  inspire 
the  boys  with  respect  for  the  colours.  To  his  tact  and  skill 
in  managing  the  boys  must  be  attributed  much  of  the  suc- 
cess which  the  Battalion  later  won.  At  first  the  drill  con- 
sisted in  executing  the  fundamental  movements  and  in 
mastering  the  first  duties  of  a  soldier.  Later,  after  one  hun- 
dred Krag  rifles  had  been  received  from  the  Government, 
two  companies,  clad  in  khaki,  were  formed  and  the  Manual 
of  Arms  was  learned.  In  the  autumn  of  1915,  T.  Wal- 
lace Orr  was  commissioned  Major.  Company  and  Battalion 
Drill  was  held  out  of  doors,  and,  in  the  spring,  Extended 
Order  was  developed  with  practice  marches  and  manoeu- 
vres in  the  surrounding  country.  Target  practice  was  begun 
on  a  two  hundred  yard  range  constructed  among  the  dunes 
on  Second  Beach.  A  short  indoor  range  was  also  set  up  in 
the  Old  Gymnasium.  Just  before  Prize  Day,  1916,  the  Bat- 
talion was  presented  with  a  beautiful  set  of  colours  by  Mrs. 
Reginald  Norman. 

In  1916,  Lieutenant  Phelan  was  called  away  to  West 
Point,  and  Major  A.  G.  Clark,  U.  S.  C.  A.  C,  a  veteran  of 
the  Spanish  War,  who  had  seen  service  in  the  Philippines, 
took  charge  of  the  Battalion,  with  T.  Wallace  Orr  again  as 
Cadet  Major.  Under  Major  Clark's  strict  but  kindly  hand- 
ling of  the  cadets,  the  efficiency  of  the  Battalion  greatly  in- 
creased; but  Major  Clark  had  to  leave  in  the  spring  of  1917, 
and  Captain  D.  H.  Kane,  U.  S.  R.,  kindly  volunteered  his 
services  for  the  rest  of  that  year.  Under  him,  Extended 
Order  was  further  developed. 

At  the  entrance  of  the  United  States  into  the  War,  In- 

C   5   ] 


ST.  GEORGE'S  SCHOOL 

tensive  Drill  was  begun  by  a  special  Company  of  older  boys, 
who  devoted  eight  hours  a  week  to  drilling.  By  this  time, 
every  boy  in  school  who  was  physically  able  to  drill  was 
a  member  of  the  Battalion. 

In  1917,  Captain  William  Sackville,  U.  S.  C.  A.  C,  took 
charge  of  the  Battalion  with  Richmond  Keith  Kane  as  the 
School  Major.  The  Battalion  had  now  become  so  proficient 
that  the  boys  were  able  to  take  charge  of  it  themselves  in 
the  absence  of  their  Military  Instructor.  Close  Order  Drill, 
the  Manual  of  Arms,  Gallery  Practice,  Signalling,  Bayonet 
Practice,  and  Extended  Order  continued  throughout  the 
winter.  Competition  was  stimulated  in  different  ways,  and 
every  opportunity  was  seized  to  develop  initiative  in  the 
non-commissioned  officers. 

At  the  opening  of  the  fall  term,  in  1918,  Captain  P.  E. 
Hurlburt,  U.  S.  C.  A.  C,  became  instructor  with  Morris 
Duane  as  School  Major.  Several  changes  were  made  in  the 
manner  of  appointing  commissioned  and  non-commissioned 
officers:  written  examinations  were  required  for  advance- 
ment, in  addition  to  the  previous  oral  examinations.  A  small 
drum  and  bugle  corps  was  organized  to  help  the  Battalion 
in  Close  Order  work  and  in  practice  parades.  A  new  short 
rifle  range  was  constructed  on  Crocker  Field,  where  many 
good  records  were  made^  Bayonet  Drill,  as  taught  in  the 
British  and  American  Armies,  was  taken  up  intensively, 
and  a  higher  degree  of  efficiency  was  reached  than  before. 

From  1917  to  the  present  time,  setting-up  exercises 
have  been  performed  by  the  Battalion  before  breakfast  out 
of  doors.  Only  rain  and  snow  have  driven  the  Battalion 
under  cover. 

At  the  signing  of  the  Armistice,  the  St.  George's  School 
Battalion  did  not  lay  down  its  arms.  One  of  the  first  schools 
to  start  drill,  it  was  the  last  to  abolish  it.  Throughout  the 

z « : 


LV  THE  WAR 

winter  and  spring  of  1919,  the  regular  work  of  the  Battal- 
ion went  on.  Not  until  the  final  parade  on  Crocker  Field  on 
June  23  was  the  Battalion  formally  disbanded.  All  honour  to 
the  loyal  and  patriotic  spirit  of  these  boys  who  kept  up  their 
interest  through  thick  and  thin  and,  quite  unperturbed  at 
the  action  of  other  schools,  laid  down  their  arms  only  when 
the  signing  of  the  treaty  of  peace  had  become  a  foregone 
conclusion.  That  their  good  work  was  recognized  by  others 
than  the  School  has  been  shown  by  the  many  eulogies  paid 
the  Battalion  by  those  who  saw  it  parade  in  Newport,  on 
Decoration  Day,  and  at  the  Welcome  Home  to  Admiral 
Sims,  and,  also,  by  the  high  officers  of  the  Army  and  Navy 
and  the  Governor  of  the  State,  before  whom  the  Cadets 
passed  in  review  on  different  Prize  Days. 

This  Militarv  Drill,  extending  over  a  period  of  more  than 
four  years,  was  part  of  the  preparation  of  the  boys  at  School. 
It  helped  keep  the  fires  burning  at  home,  and  it  enabled 
many  a  young  graduate  to  claim  his  commission  ahead  of 
the  boy  who  had  had  no'  previous  drill. 

As  the  war  advanced,  and  the  call  came  from  our  Allies 
for  ever  increasing  quantities  of  food,  the  School  turned  its 
hand  to  farming,  and  by  the  time  our  country  was  itself  at 
war,  ten  acres  of  the  School  grounds  were  plowed  up  and 
planted  to  corn,  beans,  and  potatoes.  In  the  summer  and 
autumn  of  1917,  volunteers  among  the  boys  were  called 
for  to  wTork  the  fields  and  harvest  the  crops.  Forty  boys  re- 
sponded to  the  call,  and  these  were  divided  into  groups,  each 
group  working  for  two  weeks.  The  boys  not  only  performed 
the  major  part  of  the  work  of  caring  for  the  farm  with  their 
own  hands,  but  paid  for  their  board  and  lodging  at  the 
School  at  cost.  Masters,  also,  gladly  gave  their  services  in 
supervising  the  work,  with  Mr.  Wheeler  as  General  Super- 
intendent. The  value  of  the  crops  raised  was  $1065  and  the 

[   7   ] 


ST.  GEORGE'S  SCHOOL 

expense  of  operating  was  $899,  leaving  a  profit  of  $166, 
which  was  presented  to  the  Red  Cross. 

The  experiment  was  so  successful,  that  it  was  repeated 
the  following  summer  on  a  larger  scale,  although  fewer  boys 
were  available  as  farmers, — a  falling-off  due  to  the  demand 
of  other  trades  on  boy  labor,  and  not  to  any  unwillingness 
on.  the  part  of  the  boys  to  give  part  of  their  long  summer 
holiday  to  relieving  the  food  shortage. 

As  Military  Drill  interfered  considerably  with  organized 
athletics,  so  did  the  plowing  up  of  our  front  lawns  put  a  stop 
to  all  golf.  During  the  winter  months,  it  was  harder  for  the 
boys  to  help  their  country  in  specific  ways.  In  1917  and 
1918,  special  classes  were  held  in  First  Aid,  Radio  Teleg- 
raphy, and  Military  Map  Drawing,  and,  throughout  the 
war,  lectures,  often  illustrated,  were  given  by  distinguished 
speakers  to  keep  the  boys  better  informed  as  to  its  course. 
At  Christmas,  1917,  over  one  hundred  soldier's  kit  bags 
were  made.  During  the  afternoons,  many  thousand  band- 
ages were  rolled,  and  the  front  hall  and  Miss  Diman's  room 
were  converted  into  temporary  work-shops  with  rolling  ma- 
chines fastened  to  each  table,  where  keen  rivalry  went  on 
to  see  who  could  roll  most. 

In  the  meantime  several  Masters  had  left  school  to  join 
the  colours.  Mr.  Cyril  B.  Judge  enlisted  in  the  Navy  in  1917, 
and  was  commissioned  Lieutenant  in  1918  ;  Mr.  Norman  J. 
Merrill  joined  the  Army  in  the  autumn  of  1917,  was  com- 
missioned Second  Lieutenant  a  little  later,  and  died  as  a 
result  of  overwork  at  the  Fort  Wayne  Military  Hospital  in 
Michigan ;  Mr.  Thomas  R.  Pennypacker  joined  the  Navy 
in  the  summer  of  1918,  receiving  his  commission  in  the 
autumn ;  Mr.  Charles  C.  Earle,  Jr.,  was  commissioned  Lieu- 
tenant in  the  Navy  in  the  summer  of  1918 ;  Mr.  William 
H.  Drury  also  joined  the  Navy  in  1918  as  Ensign,  remain-

ing  away  from  school  a  full  year.  Mr.  Diman,  who  had 
already  resigned  his  position  as  Head  Master  in  1917,  threw 
himself  actively  into  Red  Cross  work,  at  first  in  this  country 
and  later  in  England.  As  it  was  practically  impossible  to 
replace  all  these  men,  the  Sixth  Form  offered  their  services 
to  help  in  teaching  the  younger  boys.  They  were  paid  a 
certain  sum  per  hour,  and  gave  the  money  they  earned, 
$400,  as  their  contribution  to  the  Red  Cross.  Thus  they  not 
onlv  helped  the  School  out  of  a  difficulty  in  a  great  emer- 
gency, but  also  made  a  substantial  contribution  to  the  Red 
Cross.  Every  member  of  the  Sixth  Form  took  part  in  some 
useful  work  that  had  regularly  been  done  by  one  of  the 
Masters. 

For  the  most  part,  and  outwardly  at  least,  the  School  went 
on  much  as  usual.  There  Mere  little  self-denials  :  sugar  was 
rationed  for  a  time,  and  the  novel  sensation  was  experienced 
of  eating  molasses  or  karo  on  cereals.  The  Pie-house,  dur- 
ing the  period  of  the  greatest  food  shortage,  became  unfash- 
ionable, and  the  pennies  that  ordinarily  went  into  Mrs. 
W hitman's  coffers  went  instead  to  the  Red  Cross. 

Throughout  the  War,  the  boys  responded  liberally  to  all 
appeals  for  money.  Thus  $28 50  was  given  to  the  Y.M.  C.A., 
$3046.55  to  the  United  War  Funds  drive,  $200  was  pre- 
sented to  Mme.  Huard,  $332  and  boxes  of  clothing  to  the 
Duryea  Relief,  several  hundred  dollars  were  given  from  time 
to  time  to  the  Red  Cross  as  proceeds  from  the  annual  School 
Play,  and  contributions  were  made  to  the  Belgian  Children's 
Tin  Box  Fund. 

In  addition  to  these  and  other  gifts,  thrift  was  encour- 
aged through  the  purchase  of  many  thousands  of  dollars 
of  Government  Bonds,  and  of  Thrift  and  War  Savings 
Stamps. 

A  contribution  of  $750  was  made,  chieflv  by  the  boys

themselves,  to  equip  and  send  a  motor  ambulance  to  be  used 
by  the  Norton-Harjes  Ambulance  Corps  in  France.  The  plate 
that  was  put  by  request  on  the  motor  has  come  back  to  the 
School  and  is  now  one  of  our  precious  possessions.  It  bears 
the  following  inscription : 

Presented  by  the  Boys  and  Friends  of 

St.  George's  School,  Newport,  R.  I.,  U.  S.  A. 

In  Memory  and  in  Honour  of  its  Graduates 

At  the  Front 

Mr.  Richard  Norton,  who  has  since  died,  wrote,  under  date 
of  November  1,  1917,  that  the  motor  given  by  St.  George's 
School  had  been  working  with  Section  7  for  three  months. 
Later,  the  Red  Cross  took  over  the  Section  and  with  it  the 
St.  George's  Car. 

On  perusing  the  following  pages,  and  in  contrast  with  the 
heroic  sacrifices  of  their  comrades  at  the  front,  the  part  the 
boys  at  School  played  seems  little  enough.  They  would  gladly 
have  done  more,  had  they  known  how.  The  will  was  not 
lacking.  In  fact,  it  was  hard  to  restrain  the  over-eager  zeal 
of  the  older  boys  to  give  up  their  studies  and  run  off  to  enlist 
as  Ambulance  Drivers  or  Red  Cross  Workers.  The  follow- 
ing example  shows  the  spirit  that  animated  them  all.  The  boy 
in  question  was  only  eighteen  years  old,  but  so  determined 
was  he  to  reach  the  Front  that,  hardly  Avaiting  to  receive  his 
Diploma  and  unknown  to  his  family,  he  succeeded  in  board- 
ing a  transport  and  arrived  in  France  only  to  find  that,  on 
account  of  his  youth, he  could  not  be  accepted  in  any  branch 
of  the  American  service.  He  therefore  enlisted  as  an  Ambu- 
lance Driver  in  the  Wynne-Bevan  Ambulance  Corps  then 
operating  in  Italy.  His  heart's  desire  was  fulfilled.  In  a  few 
weeks  after  leaving  here,  he  was  hurrying  to  the  rescue  of 
the  victims  of  bombs  dropped  from  a  hostile  airplane  on  the 


IJV  THE  WAR 

little  town  of  Mestre  in  Italy.  He  and  his  comrade  arrived 
while  the  bombs  were  still  falling,  and  they  were  both  killed 
together  as  they  were  in  the  very  act  of  succouring  the 
wounded.  Richard  Cutts  Fairfield  was  the  first  and  youngest 
American  soldier  in  Italy  to  give  his  life  in  the  Great  War. 
The  Italian  Government  was  prompt  to  recognize  this  un- 
usual act  of  heroism  by  conferring  on  him  posthumously  the 
silver  medal  of  valour. 

No  account  of  the  part  the  School  played  in  the  War 
would  be  complete  without  mentioning  the  Memorial  Build- 
ing which  is  to  be  raised  to  the  everlasting  honour  of 
these  boys  who  fought  and  died  that  Freedom  might  en- 
dure. 

Soon  after  the  Armistice  was  signed,  a  Memorial  Fund 
was  started  by  the  friends,  parents,  and  alumni  of  the  School 
to  erect  a  memorial  building  to  these  boys  —  a  monument 
that  should  forever  recall  their  service  in  the  war.  It  was 
decided  that  this  building  should  take  the  form  of  a  school- 
house.  As  this  was  the  place  where  the  life  of  the  School 
centred,  and  where  all  the  boys  gathered  morning,  noon, 
and  night,  they  would  thus  be  ever  reminded  anew  of  the 
part  their  older  brothers  played  in  this  their  country's  hour 
of  need,  and  would  derive  constant  inspiration  from  daily 
assembling  within  these  walls. 

The  frontispiece  of  this  book  shows  the  plan  of  the  Me- 
morial School  House.  It  was  drawn  by  Messrs.  McKim, 
Mead  and  White,  and  will  stand  facing  the  north  play  fields 
where  the  Squash  Courts  now  are.  On  the  south  side  of  the 
building  will  be  a  spacious  Memorial  Vestibule  containing 
the  memorial  tablets.  Here,  too,  will  be  hung  the  Roll  of 
Honour, beautifully  illuminated  on  parchment,  designed  and 
executed  by  Miss  Violet  Oakley, and  presented  to  the  School 
by  Dr.  George  Woodward.  On  the  walls  of  this  vestibule

might  also  appropriately  find  a  place  the  inscription  on  the 
Processional  Cross  presented  to  the  School  by  Mr.  Peaslee  :

THE  SIXTEEN  DEAD 
Jt 

GARDNER  HENRY  FULLER 

Gardner  Henry  Fuller,  son  of  Rev.  Wilfrid  Fuller  of 
St.  Chad's  Rectory,  Lichfield,  England,  and  grandson 
of  Mrs.  Gardner  B.  Perry  of  Newport,  was  one  of  the  St. 
George's  Scholars  from  1903  to  1907.  He  then  ceased  to 
take  what  was  becoming  an  annual  voyage  across  the  At- 
lantic each  way,  and  he  entered  the  grammar  school  near 
his  home  in  England.  In  1911,  after  the  death  of  his  grand- 
mother, he  commenced  preparation  for  fulfilling  his  desire 
of  entering  the  British  army,  going  to  study  with  tutors, 
first  in  Kent  and  then  at  Southsea.  He  passed  into  the  Royal 
Military  College  at  Sandhurst  early  in  1912,  when  he  was 
only  nineteen  years  of  age.  There  he  obtained  good  marks  for 
his  work,  and  for  gymnastic  skill  he  was  chosen  with  two 
other  cadets  to  represent  the  College  in  a  tournament  against 
the  Military  Academy  at  Woolwich.  He  took,  in  passing  out, 
a  place  sufficiently  high  to  enable  him  to  enter  the  Army  Ser- 
vice Corps  in  1913;  and  therein  he  served  at  Woolwich, 
Aldershot,  and  Portsmouth.  Thence  he  went  to  France  in 
the  first  month  of  the  war,  and  was  one  of  the  officers  of  the 
9th  Brigade  Divisional  Train,  charged  with  the  duty  of 
supplying  that  brigade  with  all  necessaries. 

His  first  experience  was  the  retreat  from  Mons.  In  this, 
as  was  the  case  with  many  others,  he  had  exciting  adven- 
tures. "At  one  place," he  records,  "we  were  nearly  forgotten. 
The  Colonel  moved  without  orders  just  as  the  German  shells 
began  bursting  in  our  rear.  We  were  then  on  the  flank,  and 
for  some  time  were  within  three  miles  of  a  large  force  of 
German  Cavalry,  though  none  of  us  except  the  Colonel  knew 

C   15  ] 


ST.  GEORGE'S  SCHOOL 

anything  about  it.  We  learned  afterwards  that  we  were 
within  an  ace  of  being  captured  and  were  reported  as  lost." 
The  military  work  of  this  soldier,  although  it  may  not 
provide  so  heroic  a  story  as  that  of  one  in  the  front  line  of 
fire,  was  of  peculiar  difficulty  and  hazard  for  these  reasons. 
All  the  soldiers  in  those  early  weeks  of  the  war  were  fight- 
ing up  and  down  in  open  country,  and  these  rapid  move- 
ments gave  the  A.  S.  C.  officers  much  difficulty  in  carrying 
out  the  delivery  of  supplies,  as  well  during  the  retreat  from 
Mons  as  in  the  advance  to  the  Aisne,  and  also  in  the  early 
battle  around  the  Ypres  salient.  This  young  officer  served 
in  all  these  fields  of  battle,  and  was  often  in  sole  command 
of  the  men,  horses,  and  wagons  forming  the  supply  section 
for  about  five  thousand  troops,  who  looked  to  him  for  their 
food.  Only  once,  it  is  noted  in  his  journal,  did  he  fail  to  bring 
to  them  their  "daily  bread,"  and  this  was  because  of  a  sud- 
den advance  they  had  been  called  upon  to  make  whilst  he 
had  been  misled  as  to  his  road  in  a  strange  district  and  on 
a  dark  night.  We  can  understand  the  difficulties  of  transport 
work  in  the  early  weeks  of  the  war.  Horses  and  wagons 
can  move  only  at  a  moderate  pace,  and  there  are  many  diffi- 
culties in  turning  them  if  a  wrong  road  has  been  taken, 
which  may  easily  happen  in  finding  troops  during  their  un- 
certain movements  in  battle.  The  roads  were  often  narrow 
and  flanked  by  a  deep  ditch,  sometimes  ending  in  a  "cul- 
de-sac,"  and  then  might  arise  the  great  difficulty  of  run- 
ning down  each  member  of  the  train.  At  times  perils  from 
enemy  aeroplanes  overhead  were  so  great  that  the  train 
could  move  only  at  night,  as  in  the  day  it  had  to  be  hidden 
from  sight.  As  for  actual  fighting,  the  men  of  the  A.  S.  C. 
Mere  not  properly  trained  as  riflemen,  the  rule  being  to  pro- 
vide other  protection  for  this  section  of  men  and  supplies. 
But  the  journal  of  this  soldier  records  that  a  party  of  Ger- 

C   16]

LY  THE  WAR 

mans  emerging  from  a  wood  to  seize  what  appeared  to  be 
undefended  booty  were  scattered  by  the  mere  pointing  of 
rifles. 

These  experiences,  however,  endured  through  the  cold 
and  wet  season  in  the  late  autumn  of  19 14  in  France,  began 
to  tell  upon  this  soldier.  For,  as  those  who  knew  him  in  his 
school  davs  could  testify,  he  was  not  of  a  robust  constitu- 
tion.  It  is  not  known  if  the  disease  from  which  he  died  was 
contracted  in  France  or  later  in  England,  where  it  was  at 
that  time  prevalent.  Fuller  was  invalided  first  to  Osborne 
in  the  Isle  of  Wight,  and  then  to  his  home  in  the  month 
of  December.  After  a  rest  and  treatment  he  resumed  duties 
at  the  end  of  January  at  Woolwich.  Throughout  the  fol- 
lowing month  he  could  not  have  been  well,  though  no  seri- 
ous complaint  was  made  by  him.  At  his  own  request  he  was 
placed  in  command  of  about  two  hundred  men  to  conduct 
them  from  their  depot  to  Matlock  in  Derbyshire.  He  must 
have  suffered  greatly,  for,  the  journey  ended,  he  was  stricken 
at  the  hotel  with  what  was  found  to  be  a  malignant  disease, 
and  in  two  days  passed  from  his  earthly  warfare.  His  father, 
who  has  prepared  this  record,  expresses  his  gratitude  to  the 
friends  his  son  made  in  St.  George's  School  for  their  kind- 
ness to  him  and  for  their  remembrance  of  him.

HAROLD  CHANDLER  KIMBALL 

Many  of  the  older  graduates  will  remember  Harold 
Kimball  as  associated  with  a  national  holiday,  for, 
with  characteristic  generosity,  he  always  shared  with  the 
whole  school  the  gifts  which  came  for  his  birthday  celebra- 
tion on  February  twenty-second.  All  who  knew  him  were 
not  surprised  to  learn  that  he  enlisted  early  in  the  defence 
of  freedom  and  gave  his  all  with  the  quiet  courage  which 
makes  the  name  of  Arras  a  proud  memory  for  all  of  English 
blood. 

Born  in  Rochester,  N.  Y.,  in  1891,  Kimball  entered  St. 
George's  in  1903,  and  graduated  in  1907.  The  year  follow- 
ing his  graduation  from  St.  George's  he  spent  at  the  Uni- 
versity of  Rochester,  from  which  he  entered  Harvard  as  a 
member  of  the  class  of  19 12.  He  left  college  before  receiving 
his  degree  and  went  into  business  with  the  Ingee  Machine 
Company  of  Rochester.  After  his  marriage  to  Miss  Irene 
Agnew  in  London,  England,  in  June,  1914,  he  took  up  rail- 
roading at  Los  Angeles,  Cal.  Soon  the  appeal  of  the  war 
reached  him,  and  he  enlisted  at  Montreal,  P.  Q.,  on  April  5, 
1916,  with  the  178th  Battalion  of  Canadian  Infantry.  On 
August  1 1  of  the  same  year  he  was  transferred  to  the  117th 
Battalion,  which  proceeded  overseas  three  days  later.  Another 
transfer  came  in  December,  1916,  when  he  joined  the  24th 
Battalion,  with  which  he  fought  during  the  terrific  cam- 
paign following.  He  was  killed  in  action  at  the  taking  of 
Vimy  Ridge  on  April  9,  1917. 

A  very  striking  feature  of  the  war  has  been  the  large 
number  of  men  of  quiet  disposition  and  retiring  nature, 
as  far  as  most  people  observed  them,  who  volunteered  early 
for  the  most  dangerous  service.  That  Harold  Kimball  was 
among  these  was  not  surprising.  The  quiet  persistence  and 

C  '8  ] 


IX  THE  WAR 

first-class  mind  which  characterized  him  at  St.  George's 
united  to  make  him  seek  service  where  it  was  hardest  and 
where  danger  was  greatest.  It  is  a  matter  of  regret  that  we 
have  so  few  details  of  his  military  service,  but  the  fact  of 
his  enlistment  over  a  year  before  our  country  declared  war 
and  the  knowledge  he  must  have  had  of  the  terrific  casual- 
ties of  so  many  Canadian  regiments  are  witness  to  a  spirit 
of  quiet  resolve  to  serve,  no  matter  what  the  cost.  Perhaps  he 
heard  at  Vimy  Ridge  the  cry  which  has  rung  in  the  ears 
of  so  many  a  soldier  in  Flanders : 

Once  more  into  the  breach,  dear  friends,  once  more; 
Or  close  the  wall  up  with  our  English  dead! 
'  In  peace,  there  '5  nothing  so  becomes  a  man 
As  modest  stillness  and  humility 
But  when  the  blast  of  war  blows  in  our  ears, 

Be  copy  now  to  men  of  grosser  blood 
And  teach  them  how  to  war! 

The  many  graduates  who  served  their  country  so  fully  and 
gladly  when  the  call  of  duty  came  must  feel  especial  pride  as 
they  think  of  those  who,  like  Harold  Kimball,  had  "taught 
them  how  to  war."

RONALD  WOOD  HOSKIER 

The  United  States  declared  war  on  Germany  on  April  6, 
1917.  Before  America  went  into  the  war,  we  watched 
the  struggle  from  a  distance,  helped  in  some  degree  to  allevi- 
ate the  misery  and  sorrow,  and  tried  to  understand  what  the 
agony  and  suffering  meant — what  it  meant  for  the  people  of 
England,  France,  and  Belgium  to  send  forth  their  clean  and 
strong  young  men  only  to  have  them  perish  in  the  conflict. 
A  few  days  later,  on  April  23,  came  our  own  St.  George's 
Day,  a  day  beloved  by  every  St.  George's  boy.  Henceforth 
St.  George's  Day  will  have  a  deeper  meaning  for  all  of  us, 
for  on  that  day  we  first  began  to  understand  the  sorrows  of 
the  war,  when  we  at  school  learned  that  a  St.  George's  boy 
who  had  "kept  himself  unspotted  from  the  world  and  learned 
to  succour  the  oppressed"  had  died  for  a  mighty  cause. 

Ronald  Wood  Hoskier  was  born  on  March  21,  1896,  in 
South  Orange,  N.  J.,  the  son  of  Mr.  and  Mrs.  H.  C.  Hos- 
kier. He  entered  St.  George's  in  September,  1909,  with  the 
class  of  19 1 4.  During  his  career  of  four  years  at  St.  George's 
he  occupied  a  very  prominent  place  in  the  school  life.  Quiet, 
reserved,  a  creditable  athlete  and  a  brilliant  student,  he  stands 
out  in  the  memories  of  the  School  as  a  noble  boy  and  a  loyal 
friend. 

Ronald  left  school  at  the  end  of  his  Third  Form  and  spent 
a  year  with  his  family  in  Europe  of  which  five  months  were 
passed  in  Rome.  An  incident  which  happened  during  that 
year  shows  his  devotion  to  the  School.  He  was  an  enthusi- 
astic mountain  climber, and  during  the  year  he  climbed  sev- 
eral peaks  in  the  Alps.  While  he  was  climbing  the  Aiguilles 
Rouges  near  Chamonix  the  guide  suggested  doing  a  vir- 
gin peak.  The  attempt  succeeded,  and  Ronald  had  the  priv- 
ilege of  giving  the  peak  a  name.  The  guides  suggested  that 


A<>na/t/   (/<>(>(/.   //(>.)/>///- 


IJV  THE  WAR 

he  call  the  peak  after  himself.  But  he  would  have  none  of 
it,  and  the  name  which  the  peak  now  bears  is  "  Pic  St. 
Georges."  The  love  of  nature  and  of  the  outdoor  world  was 
strong  in  Ronald,  and  the  memories  of  the  months  spent 
among  the  Alps  gave  colour  to  many  of  the  stories  and 
poems  which  he  afterwards  wrote  for  the  Dragon. 

Ronald  returned  to  school  in  1912,  and  there  followed 
two  years  of  physical,  mental,  and  moral  growth.  During 
those  years  the  school  was  better  for  his  presence,  and  dur- 
ing those  years,  too,  friendships  were  formed  which  even 
death  cannot  change.  The  last  year  was  the  best  and  full- 
est, and  Ronald  had  a  chance  as  Editor-in-Chief  of  the 
Dragon  and  as  a  Prefect  to  leave  behind  him  a  never-end- 
ing influence  on  the  School. 

Immediately  after  graduation  Ronald  sailed  for  Europe, 
and  almost  at  once  came  the  war,  and  the  question  at  once 
arose  as  to  what  he  ought  to  do.  Training,  inheritance,  and 
desire  all  urged  him  to  go  in  at  once.  A  hard  period  of 
questionings  and  doubts  ended  in  his  decision  to  return  to 
America  in  September,  1914,  and  to  enter  Harvard  with  the 
class  of  1918.  It  was  a  hard  time,  and  there  was  no  doubt 
as  to  what  his  final  decision  would  be.  To  stay  safely  at 
home  while  justice,  truth,  and  right  were  at  stake,  and  Eng- 
land and  France  were  fighting  for  their  existence,  was  im- 
possible for  him.  Fortunately  for  us  all,  the  decision  was 
put  off  for  a  year  and  a  half,  and  during  that  time  he  had 
a  chance  to  make  as  strong  a  place  for  himself  at  Harvard 
as  he  had  previously  made  at  School.  He  took  up  fencing 
and  was  on  the  Harvard  team.  It  was  a  period,  also,  of 
greater  development  in  every  way,  and  our  hopes  for  a  big 
and  noble  future  became  a  certainty.  [The  university  has 
since  awarded  him  his  B.A., '  qui  studiis  relictis  pro  Patriae 
libertate  mortem  oppetiit."  \ 


ST.  GEORGE'S  SCHOOL 

During  the  winter  of  his  Sophomore  year  the  decision 
was  made,  and  in  February,  1916,  Ronald  gave  up  every- 
thing and  sailed  for  France,  to  do  his  part  in  the  mighty 
struggle.  He  enlisted  at  once  in  the  Lafayette  Escadrille, 
and  began  his  period  of  training  at  Dijon  on  May  10.  The 
record  of  his  last  year  may  best  be  given  here  in  the  words 
of  his  father. 

''  He  never  had  an  accident  during  his  training,  and  was 
a  most  careful  and  successful  pilot.  He  led  his  class  every- 
where by  ten  to  fourteen  days,  and  then  had  to  wait  for  the 
rest  to  finish,  a  most  trying  situation  to  be  thus  held  back. 
His  father  and  mother  spent  his  twenty-first  birthday  with 
him,  March  21,  1917,  at  Ravenel  near  St.  Just-en-Chaus- 
see,  just  before  the  Escadrille  moved  forward  to  quarters  at 
Ham.  His  mother  last  saw  him  alive  on  20th  April,  1917, 
when  he  came  to  Paris  on  a  mission,  and  flew  a  new  ma- 
chine back  from  Le  Bourget  to  Ham.  He  had  a  presenti- 
ment on  the  21st  of  March  that  the  end  could  not  be  far 
off  if  he  did  his  whole  duty,  and  he  gave  his  father  certain 
instructions  at  their  meeting  on  that  date,  in  case  of  his 
death.  Ronald  by  his  example  was,  let  us  hope,  a  beacon  to 
some  of  his  associates,  and  it  was  touching  to  see  those  to 
whom  he  had  lent  money  striving  to  make  amends  by  set- 
ting everything  in  order  concerning  the  place  of  sepulture 
at  their  expense.  Speaking  of  money,  his  father  wishes  to 
state  that  notwithstanding  the  poor  food  in  the  French  mess, 
the  expense  necessary  to  supplement  this,  and  all  other 
incidental  expenses,  he  managed  to  save  half  of  the  small 
allowance  which  he  received  of  500  francs  a  month,  and 
this  in  the  face  of  every  possible  temptation  to  spend  and  to 
gamble.  So  wide-reaching  can  be  the  example  in  the  world 
of  a  St.  George's  boy. 

"One  touching  incident  must  be  recorded.  Before  sailing 


IN  THE  WAR 

in  February,  1916,  he  went  through  the  old  home,  then 
closed  and  very  cold  (it  had  been  shut  up  since  June,  1914). 
He  had  his  hat  on,  but  before  entering  his  mother's  room  he 
uncovered  himself  as  if  entering  a  church  or  moving  on  to 
holy  ground.  The  old  attendant  who  accompanied  him  pro- 
tested, but  he  waived  her  aside,  'I  could  not  think  of  en- 
tering Mother's  room  with  my  hat  on.' 

"When  he  flew  to  his  death  on  23rd  April,  1917,  he  was 
out  for  the  last  time  on  an  unsatisfactory  machine,  a  Mo- 
rane  Parasol  two-seater.  It  was  not  strong  enough  for  scout- 
ing and  manoeuvring,  and  was  to  be  abandoned.  He  who 
always  prided  himself  on  keeping  in  touch  with  his  fellow- 
scouts  got  separated  in  some  thick,  white,  woolly  clouds, 
an  ideal  condition  for  the  grouped  and  waiting  Bodies, 
and  found  himself  in  presence  of  three  enemy  machines. 
He  circled  once,  but  finding  no  friends,  attacked  the  three 
Boches.  Something  went  wrong,  we  don't  know  what :  per- 
haps a  cable  was  shattered ;  perhaps  he  was  struck  in  the 
head  at  once ;  at  any  rate,  his  own  machine  gun  belt  had 
been  emptied  and  that  of  his  mitrailleur  nearly  so.  The  ma- 
chine fell  from  8000  feet  just  inside  the  French  lines.  The 
bodies  were  recovered  only  at  nightfall  by  the  usual  devo- 
tion of  his  fellow-members,  as  the  enemy  bombarded  the 
spot  all  day.  They  are  buried  at  Ham. 

"The  name  of  his  mitrailleur  deserves  to  go  on  record 
here.  It  is  Jean  Dressy,  born  near  Montbrison,  of  humble 
parents,  in  1889,  and  therefore  then  in  his  28th  year.  He 
was  a  practising,  earnest  Christian,  a  devoted  fellow,  who 
had  in  the  early  days  of  the  war  rescued  under  fire  his 
wounded  officer,  Lieutenant  de  Laage  de  Meux.  Lieutenant 
de  Laage  de  Meux  was  the  second  in  command,  and  Mrs. 
Hoskier  savs  she  will  never  forget  his  courtesy  and  the  look 
of  unutterable  svmpa thy  and  grief  on  his  face  as  he  met  Ron-

aid's  parents  at  Compiegne  on  25th  April,  to  drive  to  Ham 
for  that  saddest  of  all  days  for  them,  when  they  laid  Ronald 
to  rest,  —  that  gallant  Christian  gentleman,  who  had  never 
caused  them  one  moment's  care  or  anxiety  during  his 
twenty-one  years  on  earth.  He  lay  in  his  poor,  thin,  pine 
coffin,  dressed  as  he  fell,  the  features  not  too  much  marred, 
a  type  of  those  devoted  heroes  of  whom  'the  world  was 
not  worthy,'  and  who  were  falling  daily  in  order  that  the 
Boche's  fell  purpose  might  be  foiled.  Alas,  Lieutenant  de 
La  age  also  fell  soon  after,  and  is  buried  seven  graves  fur- 
ther on  in  line  with  Ronald's  tomb,  where  he  stood  as  a 
mourner  just  three  weeks  previously.  Another  Christian 
gentleman  and  soldier,  grave  beyond  his  years. 

"Ronald  fell  on  St. George's  Day.  He  could  not  do  more. 
It  was  fate.  Graduated  on  the  13th  day  of  June,  1914,  bre- 
veted on  the  13th  day  of  August,  1916,  and  joining  the  Es- 
cadrille  on  the  13th  day  of  December,  1916,  there  seems  to 
have  been  a  fateful  irony  in  these  dates;  and  he  passed 
away  on  the  23rd  of  April,  1917,  at  high  noon." 

It  is  fitting,  in  closing  this  all  too  imperfect  tribute,  to 
quote  two  passages  —  one  from  the  funeral  oration  pro- 
nounced by  Captain  Thenault,  Commanding  Officer  of  the 
Escadrille,  "C'etait  une  nature  droite,  une  ame  intelligente, 
eprise  d'ideal  et  de  beaute" — the  other  from  the  citation  of 
General  Franchet  d'Esperey,  when  conferring  the  Croix  de 
Guerre  with  palm :  "Citoyen  Americain,  engage  au  service 
de  la  France.  Veritable  ame  d'elite  pour  sa  bravoure  et  son 
esprit  de  sacrifice.  Est  tombe  le  23  Avril,  apres  une  heroique 
defense,  dans  un  combat  contre  trois  appareils  ennemis."

IJ\"  THE  WAR 

Discours  Prononce  par  le  Cne  Thenault  le  25  Avril,  1917 

Madame,  Messieurs,  Les  deuils  se  suivent  avec  rapidite,  et  a  quelques 
jours  de  distance  nous  voila  reunis  de  nouveau  aupres  de  ces  tombes.  Le 
coup  qui  vient  de  nous  frapper  est  particulierement  cruel.  Avant  hier, 
dans  la  lutte  sans  treve  contre  l'ennemi  implacable,  sont  tombes  le  cava- 
lier Dressy  et  le  sergent  Hoskier. 

Le  Sergent  Ronald  Hoskier,  ne  a  South  Orange  New  Jersey,  etait  age 
de  21  ans.  Eleve  par  sa  famille  dans  de  saines  traditions,  c'etait  une 
nature/droite,  une  ame  intelligente,  eprise  d 'ideal  et  de  beaute.  II  vene- 
rait  sa  Mere,  devant  la  douleur  de  qui  nous  nous  inclinons  respectueuse- 
ment  et  qui,  soyez  en  sure,  Madame,  est  son  seul  regret. 

II  devait  aimer  la  Justice,  la  Liberte,  la  France  assaillie  par  les  barbares, 
et,  libre  Enfant  d'un  Pays  encore  neutre  mais  dont  les  sentiments  com- 
mencaient  a  fremir,  l'annee  derniere  il  s'engageait  sous  nos  Drapeaux. 
II  suivait  l'exemple  de  son  pere,  venu  malgre  son  age  apporter  son  con- 
cours  actif  au  corps  des  ambulanciers  americains  et  que  Verdun  vit  sous 
ses  murs  au  cours  de  la  ruee  terrible. 

Hoskier  avait  de  qui  tenir  et  bien  souvent  il  nous  le  montra. 

Pilote  adroit  et  intrepide,  il  fit  ses  premieres  armes  sur  la  Somme.  II 
fut  vite  confirme  et  ses  premieres  batailles  furent  des  succes.  II  rapportait 
de  plus  des  renseignements  interessants,  dont  le  commandement  admirait 
la  precision  et  le  bon  sens,  et  qui  furent  tres  goutes  pendant  la  derniere 
avance. 

Avant  hier  il  sortait  avec  son  camarade  Dressy.  Le  pilote  savait  ce  que 
valait  le  mitrailleur,  et  le  mitrailleur  savait  que  le  pilote  l'emmenerait 
droit  au  combat.  Us  volaient  avec  deux  camarades,  quand  ils  rencontrerent 
une  force  superieure.  Fuir  eut  peut-etre  ete  prudent,  mais  des  soldats 
comme  Hoskier  a  l'ame  ardente,  peuvent-ils  une  seconde  penser  a  fuir! 

Ils  se  lanrerent  dans  la  melee,  les  mitrailleuses  crepiterent,  chantant 
leur  cruelle  et  rageuse  chanson,  et,  pendant  que  des  camarades  retenaient 
deux  adversaires,  on  vit  la  machine  d'Hoskier  en  prise  avec  trois  autres, 
atteinte  dans  mi  de  ses  rubles  essentiels,  tourbillonner  et  venir  s'abattre 
dans  nos  li.^ut-s,  un  peu  au  Sud  de  Saint-Quentin.  On  releva  pieusement  les 
corps  du  Francais  et  de  l'Americain  unisj usque  dans  la  mort,  et  mieux 
que  tons  les  mots  du  monde,  de  tels  faits  symbolisent  Punion  des  Deux 
(iraiids  Pays,  lies  maintenant  jusqu'a  la  fin  victorieuse.

Madame,  votre  tristesse  est  immense,  et  nous  comprenons  la  douleur 
du  coeur  d'une  Mere.  Rien  ne  peut  la  consoler,  ancune  parole,  mais  nous 
vous  promettons,  Madame,  da  conserver  toujours  la  memoire  du  Sergent 
Hoskier. 

Lui,  un  soldat,  savait  par  1'exemple  quotidien  les  risques  de  la  vie 
qu'il  avait  choisie,  mais,  suivant  son  droit  chemin,  rien  ne  1'aurait  fait 
devier.  Hier,  la-haut,  il  fut  content  de  voir  qu'un  de  ses  camarades  1 'avait 
venge. 

Cavalier  Dressy,  sergent  Hoskier,  votre  mort  est  un  exemple,  je  vous 
salue  respectueusement,  et  au  Nom  de  tous  vos  Camarades,  je  vous 
adresse  un  dernier  Adieu.

HENRY  BREWSTER  PALMER 

God  give  us  bases  to  guard  or  beleaguer, 
Games  to  filay  out,  whether  earnest  or  fun, 

Fights  for  the  fearless,  arid  goals  for  the  eager, 
Twenty,  and  thirty,  and  forty  years  on. 

Iooklvg  back  to  the  years  when  Henry  Palmer  was  at  St. 
JL /  George's,  everyone  who  knew  him  here  will  see  vividly 
the  small  but  agile  figure  of  a  boy  battling  calmly  and  suc- 
cessfully for  his  school  on  the  athletic  field.  Quiet  determi- 
nation and  unruffled  control  made  him  a  rock  of  strength 
to  his  fellows  then  and  prepared  him  well  for  final  victory 
on  a  greater  field.  So  much  of  the  school's  early  athletic  his- 
tory is  bound  up  in  his  name  that  a  picture  of  him  always 
includes  the  easy  swing  with  which  he  gathered  in  hard- 
hit  balls  as  shortstop  or,  as  a  quarterback,  directed  the  foot- 
ball team  in  many  a  contest.  "When  you  look  back,  and  for- 
getfully wonder  what  you  were  like  in  your  work  and  your 
play"  might  apply  to  Henry  as  he  thought  of  his  school- 
boy days,  but  not  to  his  mates  and  other  friends.  Thev 
caught  even  then  some  glimpse  of  the  man  who  quietlv 
volunteered  for  service  wherever  needed.  Strangers  mav 
wonder  whose  is  the  face  that  appears  on  so  many  team 
pictures  in  the  Old  School  and  whose  name  is  on  so  many 
tablets  in  Auchincloss,  but  old  masters  and  bovs  will  think 
of  the  man  who  came  to  rest  after  a  glorious  career  as  a 
soldier  because  he  here  had  shown  in  early  days  that  he 
knew  how  to  fight. 

Henry  Brewster  Palmer  was  born  in  Rochester,  N.  Y., 
December  25,  1887.  After  attending  the  Lewis  School  and 
Bradstreets'  Preparatory  School,  he  entered  St.  George's  in 
the  fall  of  1903.  During  the  three  years  up  to  his  gradua- 
tion in  1906  Henry  did  creditable  work  as  a  student  and 


ST.  GEORGE'S  SCHOOL 

starred  as  an  athlete.  His  all  round  ability  made  him  a 
member  of  teams  representing  the  school  in  football,  base- 
ball, tennis,  and  hockey.  At  Harvard  he  also  played  on  his 
Freshman  and  on  the  Harvard  Second  baseball  teams.  As 
an  agreeable  companion  and  friend  he  was  recognized 
through  his  election  to  several  clubs,  such  as  the  Harvard 
Polo,  D.  K.  K,  Hasty  Pudding,  and  Delphic  Clubs.  He  grad- 
uated from  Harvard  in  1910  and,  after  six  months  of  travel 
abroad,  entered  the  bond  business  in  New  York  City.  In 
1912  he  took  up  the  bond  business  in  San  Francisco,  but 
returned  to  New  York  two  years  later.  The  appeal  of  ser- 
vice in  the  War  proved  irresistible  to  him  in  1916,  so  that 
on  June  25  of  that  year  he  entered  the  American  Ambulance 
Service  in  France  for  a  period  of  seven  months ;  on  the  com- 
pletion of  this  period  he  re-enlisted  for  six  months.  With 
Section  3  of  the  American  Ambulance  he  was  transferred 
on  October  1,  1916,  to  Greece,  where  he  drove  the  Harvard 
1910  class  ambulance.  The  short  military  account  given  in 
the  following  extract  from  a  diploma  of  the  French  Gov- 
ernment tells  a  story  of  which  the  details  must  have  meant 
much  of  courage  and  devotion  : 

"Well  before  the  entrance  of  the  United  States  into  the 
War,  he  was  of  the  campaign  in  Lorraine,  Verdun,  and  with 
the  Army  of  the  Orient,  serving  as  ambulance  driver  in 
American  Sanitary  Section,  No.  3.  He  has  been  cited  to  the 
Order  of  the  Brigade  by  the  General  Commander-in-Chief 
of  the  Allied  Armies  in  the  Orient."  He  was  awarded  the 
Croix  de  Guerre  for  courageous  action  in  removing  wounded 
in  the  region  of  Monastir  between  October,  1916,  and  De- 
cember, 1916. 

So  soon  as  he  could  enter  a  fighting  branch  of  war  ser- 
vice, he  joined  the  French  Aviation  Service  on  June  7,  1917. 
Having  completed  his  training,  he  received  his  military  bre-

IX  THE  WAR 

vet  September  30, 19 1 7,  as  a  member  of  the  Lafayette  Esca- 
drille.  Henry's  service  as  aviator  was  short,  however,  for  he 
was  taken  ill  with  pneumonia  and  died  on  November  12, 
1917.  He  was  buried  at  Pau,  France,  with  the  highest  mili- 
tary honours. 

A  letter  accompanying  the  award  of  a  decoration  by  the 
French  Ministry  of  War  to  Henry  Palmer  tells  the  story 
effectively : 

"Through  my  suggestion  the  President  of  Air  War  Min- 
istry has  decided  to  bestow  a  decoration  upon  the  four  high 
officers  and  the  214  pilots  of  the  Lafayette  Flying  Corps, 
who  in  the  name  of  their  people  fought  so  gallantly  in  the 
French  lines  and  took  such  a  wonderful  part  in  our  perils 
and  our  glories.  This  token  consists  of  a  blue  ribbon  adorned 
with  stars  bordered  with  the  French  and  American  colors 
in  relief  of  a  Sioux  head  in  silver  which  the  first  Lafayette 
Escadrille  carried  so  gloriously  over  our  battlefield. 

"It  gives  me  the  greatest  pleasure  to  present  you  with  this 
decoration  of  honor  which  shall  bear  witness  of  the  high 
esteem  of  the  aviation  corps  and  the  French  nation  whom 
you  have  served  so  well."

WILLIAM  SMITH  ELY 

William  Smith  Ely,  the  fifth  St.  George's  boy  to  die 
in  the  war,  was  killed  in   England  on  January  2, 
1918,  while  in  training  for  the  aviation  service. 

Ely  was  born  in  Rochester,  N.  Y.,  on  November  18,  1895, 
the  only  child  of  Dr.  and  Mrs.  William  S.  Ely.  In  Septem- 
ber, 1909,  he  entered  St.  George's  School  in  the  Third  Form, 
and  after  four  years  graduated  in  1913.  William  was  a 
quiet,  reserved  boy,  not  taking  a  prominent  part  in  athletics, 
but  standing  high  in  his  scholastic  work.  He  took  many 
honours  on  Prize  Days,  receiving,  while  he  was  at  St. 
George's,  prizes  in  Mathematics,  Latin,  and  Greek,  and  in 
his  Fifth  Form  year  winning  the  Binney  Cup  for  the  high- 
est scholarship  in  the  Fifth  and  Sixth  Forms.  The  books 
presented  to  him  have  since  been  given  to  the  School  by  his 
mother,  and  now  occupy  an  honoured  place  in  the  Library. 
He  was  deeply  respected  by  the  faculty  and  beloved  by  his 
many  warm  friends,  particularly  in  his  own  form. 

After  leaving  school  Ely  entered  Harvard,  graduating  in 
three  years,  but  maintaining  his  connection  with  the  Class 
of  1917.  While  in  college  he  was  very  popular  with  a  large 
group  of  friends,  among  them  his  own  classmates  from 
school.  During  his  first  year  at  college  he  rowed  on  the 
Freshman  crew  which  defeated  Yale,  but  he  was  prevented 
by  an  injury  from  continuing  what  promised  to  be  a  bril- 
liant career  as  an  oarsman.  While  at  Harvard  he  was  a 
member  of  the  Dickey,  the  Iroquois,  the  Spee,  and  the 
Hasty  Pudding  Clubs. 

Ely  had  intended  to  follow  his  father's  profession  and 
had  planned  to  enter  the  Harvard  Medical  School,  but, 
upon  the  entrance  of  the  United  States  into  the  war,  he 
gave  up  his  plans  and  enlisted  in  the  aviation  corps.  He

IJY  THE  WAR 

was  at  once  ordered  to  the  Massachusetts  Institute  of  Tech- 
nology Ground  School,  where  he  remained  until  July,  1917. 
Upon  completing  his  course  there  he  was  ordered  to  pro- 
ceed to  Europe  for  further  instruction,  and  sailed  from  New 
York  on  July  21,  1917. 

Letters  from  France  were  very  strictly  censored,  and 
unfortunately  little  is  known  of  the  details  of  his  work 
and  training  in  Europe.  In  a  letter  written  to  his  mother  he 
gives  a  short  account  of  his  work  as  follows: 

"Our  mail  service  is  decidedly  lame — I  got  no  letters  at  all 
from  you  for  over  two  weeks  and  then  got  four  in  a  bunch. 

"Of  course  I  couldn't  tell  you  where  we  were  when  I 
wrote  vou  those  letters  en  route,  but  I  suppose  there  is  no 
harm  now  in  saying  that  we  were  waiting  off  Halifax.  It 
was  there  we  had  the  boat  races  between  the  aviators  and 
the  engineers.  Naturally  we  got  no  official  reason  for  our 
hold  up,  which  lasted  five  days,  but  we  were  probably 
waiting  for  our  escort  of  destroyers.  At  any  rate,  when  we 
were  two  days  out  we  were  met  by  six  long  low  rakish 
destroyers,  which  appeared  suddenly  over  the  rim  of  the 
ocean  and  convoyed  our  five  ships  safely  to  port  on  this  side. 

'Ten  of  us  have  been  on  duty  at  headquarters  in  Paris. 
We  have  to  work  very  hard,  but  that  is  what  we  are  here 
for  and  the  work  is  very  interesting.  When  we  do  have  any 
time  to  ourselves  we  usually  go  sightseeing.  I  do  not  re- 
member much  of  what  I  saw  when  I  was  here  before, — too 
young,  I  suppose,  but  now  and  then  I  find  a  familiar  object. 

"Just  now  I  am  at  the  above  'somewhere'  on  a  motor 
trip  through  southern  France, —  on  business  of  course.  I 
am  with  Lieut.  Thaw,  U.  S.  A.,  brother  of  the  famous  avi- 
ator, William  Thaw.  We  have  a  staff  car  with  a  spread 
eagle  on  it  and  a  military  chauffeur  who  always  drives  at 
seventy  or  eighty  miles  an  hour.  .  .  . 


ST.  GEORGE'S  SCHOOL 

"We  are  evidently  some  of  the  first  American  soldiers 
to  appear  in  this  part  of  France,  and  we  are  the  cause  of 
great  excitement  wherever  we  go.  Crowds  gather  around  to 
watch  us,  and  it  is  a  bit  thrilling  but  also  quite  touching 
to  see  what  confidence  and  hope  the  peasants  and  the  people 
in  these  little  French  towns  have  in  America.  We  often 
hear  the  women  calling  their  children  to  come  and  see  the 
'Americans  who  have  come  to  save  France.' 

"I  little  thought  that  I  should  ever  be  paid  to  take  an 
automobile  trip  through  the  most  beautiful  part  of  France. 
But  though  it  may  sound  like  a  pleasure  trip,  we  are  work- 
ing very  hard.  Three  days  last  week  we  worked  from  half 
past  six  in  the  morning  until  after  one  the  next  morning, 
and,  though  to-day  is  Sunday,  hard  labor  is  the  rule  just 
the  same. 

"I  had  my  first  real  flight  a  few  days  ago,  and  the  sen- 
sation is  wonderful.  You  have  no  feeling  of  danger  at  all 
and  no  sense  of  forward  motion  until  you  look  at  the  ground 
and  see  how  fast  you  are  moving.  The  pilot  who  took  me 
up  is  one  of  the  most  expert  in  France  and  he  did  all  sorts 
of  stunts  in  the  air.  We  have  visited  all  the  flying  schools 
in  this  part  of  the  country  and  have  studied  the  methods 
of  instruction.  We  have  met  a  good  many  French  officers, — 
bully  chaps  they  are,  too.  Every  one  is  heartily  sick  of  the 
war,  and  small  blame  to  them,  but  we  are  impressed  with 
their  grim  determination  to  stick  it  out  until  they  'beat  the 
Boche.' "... 

Soon  after  his  arrival  in  France  he  was  stationed,  as  we 
see  by  the  letter,  at  Aviation  Headquarters  in  Paris,  and  he 
received  his  commission  as  First  Lieutenant  in  September, 
1917.  Later  he  was  sent  to  England  for  special  training  to 
become  a  leader  of  a  squadron.  In  England  he  was  stationed 
at  Northolt  and  at  Port  Meadow,  Oxford. 

C  32   ] 


IN  THE  WAR 

On  the  afternoon  of  January  2,  after  he  had  finished  his 
day's  work,  Ely  was  invited  to  go  up  as  a  passenger  with  an 
English  instructor,  a  pilot  who  was  considered  an  expert 
flyer.  What  happened  is  not  known  exactly,  but  the  report 
of  the  inquest  states  that  "by  an  error  of  judgment  the 
pilot  stalled  the  engine  in  turning  when  about  three  hun- 
dred feet  in  the  air."  The  machine  crashed  to  the  ground 
and  both  pilot  and  passenger  were  instantly  killed.  They 
are  buried  in  Oxford. 

Death  while  fighting  in  a  mighty  charge  is  a  glorious 
thing.  The  splendour  of  the  achievement  and  the  greatness 
of  character  and  purpose  of  the  man  give  to  sorrow  a  for- 
getfulness  of  self  which  softens  grief  and  leads  the  mind  to 
a  new  and  higher  sense  of  proportions  and  values.  The 
tragedy  of  sorrow  is  more  keenly  felt  when  a  man,  fit  and 
ready  for  a  large  part  in  the  struggle,  meets  his  death  by 
deplorable  accident.  But  the  character  and  purpose  are  the 
same,  and  the  man  who  is  denied  the  larger  action  deserves 
equal  honour  and  even  greater  tenderness.

RICHARD  CUTTS  FAIRFIELD 

During  the  war  and  after,  we  have  spoken  with  reverence 
of  the  dead,  the  honoured  dead,  that  silent  army  whose 
service  on  this  earth  is  complete  and  perfect  in  their  supreme 
sacrifice.  We  have  spoken  and  thought  of  them,  but  their 
numbers  have  defied  true  comprehension  of  their  loss.  It  is 
only  when  one  we  know  is  swept  away  in  the  maelstrom  that 
understanding  rushes  over  us.  Then  we  must  accept  the 
after  life  as  a  fact  or  "go  sorrowing  all  our  days."  Especially 
are  we  impressed  with  the  certainty  of  survival  when  one  in 
the  full  vigour  of  youth  suddenly  vanishes  from  among  us. 
Those  who  knew  Dick  Fairfield,  I  am  sure,  can  only  think 
of  him  as  alive  and  happy  somewhere. 

Richard  Cutts  Fairfield  was  born  February  20,  1899. 
When  he  entered  the  Third  Form  at  St.George's  he  was  four- 
teen. In  a  very  few  weeks  he  must  have  known  every  fellow 
in  school,  and  in  that  time  he  had  become  universally  liked. 
Dick  could  get  on  with  anybody,  for  he  had  an  inexhaustible 
supply  of  good  nature  and  was  always  full  of  fun.  His  many 
activities  during  the  four  years  at  school  show  his  versa- 
tility. Athletics  he  found  more  interesting  than  studies,  but 
he  kept  up  in  his  work.  In  foot-ball  and  basket-ball  he  play ed 
on  the  club  teams,  agility  making  up  for  a  rather  slight  build. 
His  tennis  placed  him  on  the  team  in  1914  and  made  him 
captain  in  1916.  On  the  ice  he  was  a  good  hockey  player. 
His  interest  and  ability  in  military  drill  earned  him  the  rank 
of  lieutenant.  During  three  out  of  his  four  years  he  sang  in 
the  choir.  Studies  must  have  sometimes  seemed  to  him  very 
dry,  for  he  found  constant  application  no  easy  task.  That  he 
passed  examinations  for  college  and  before  graduating  won 
a  prize  in  Greek  is  the  proof  of  real  progress  in  academic 
work.

IN  THE  WAR 

These  things  the  records  show.  Yet  there  is  much  that  is 
only  written  on  the  book  of  life.  The  real  strife,  the  fight  to 
master  individual  faults,  which  each  one  of  us  must  sustain 
alone,  of  that  we  can  only  gather  faint  intimations.  Dick  had 
the  faults  which  an  impetuous  nature  shows  in  youth,  rest- 
lessness and  occasional  misdirected  effort.  But  his  insatiable 
desire  to  be  doing  things  was  the  sign  that  he  possessed  that 
energy  which,  when  coupled  with  the  right  education,  al- 
ways finds  the  path  to  achievement. 

The  years  slipped  silently  by  until  graduation  was  at  hand. 
Impending  separation  awakens  us  to  a  sudden  valuation  of 
the  friendship  we  have  formerly  taken  for  granted.  Dick's 
sunny  smile  and  cheery  salutation  had  endeared  him  to  every 
one,  even  to  those  who  did  not  know  him  well.  Light-hearted 
as  he  was,  he  had  a  serious  side  little  appreciated  because 
little  seen,  yet  soon  to  be  manifested  gloriously  to  all  the 
world. 

He  had  intended  to  enter  Harvard  in  the  fall.  Summer 
came  and  went.  The  war  was  making  Americans  anxious, 
discontented.  Student  life,  particularly,  seemed  flat  and  profit- 
less while  men  were  fighting  and  dying.  With  characteristic 
impetuosity  Dick  suddenly  decided  to  throw  up  college,  to 
go  abroad,  to  help  somehow  where  help  was  so  much  needed. 
He  was  only  eighteen.  Fearing  he  might  be  considered  too 
young, he  secretly  got  passage  for  England,  where  he  landed 
in  September.  There  he  immediately  joined  the  Wynne- 
Bevan  Ambulance  Corps  and  was  soon  on  his  way  to  Italy. 
The  Wynne-Bevan  Ambulance  Corps  was  a  private  organ- 
ization at  that  time  stationed  on  the  Venetian  Plain  to  carry 
Italian  wounded.  There  was  work,  hard  work,  to  be  done,  with 
winter  coming  on,  with  the  Italians  disheartened  by  the  re- 
treat into  which  they  had  been  betrayed,  with  the  Austro- 
German  army  on  the  offensive.  Ambulance  headquarters

ST.  GEORGE'S  SCHOOL 

were  about  ten  miles  from  the  little  town  of  Mestre.  On  those 
muddy,  narrow  roads,  with  their  steep,  dangerous  gutters, 
Dick  drove  four  months.  It  was  a  three-fold  struggle  against 
the  weather,  disease,  and  the  enemy. 

All  went  well  until  January,  1918.  Then  hostile  planes 
began  a  series  of  raids  on  Italian  towns  behind  the  lines. 
Treviso,  Venice,  and  Padua  suffered  some  destruction.  On 
January  26,  Dick  was  at  a  dressing  station,  having  just 
delivered  a  load  of  wounded.  Newrs  came  that  Mestre  was 
being  bombarded.  Fairfield  and  a  companion  jumped  on  a 
motorcycle  and  went  ahead  into  Mestre  to  see  if  an  ambu- 
lance would  be  needed.  As  they  stopped  in  the  market-place, 
deserted  by  the  frightened  population,  a  bomb  fell  on  a  house 
nearby,  instantly  killing  them  both. 

They  were  buried  with  all  civil  and  military  honours  in  the 
little  cemetery  outside  of  Mestre,  where  Americans,  English, 
and  Italians  gathered  to  pay  tribute  to  the  first  Americans 
killed  in  Italy.  The  Mayor  pronounced  a  eulogy.  Messages 
of  praise  and  of  condolence  were  sent  by  many  distinguished 
persons  to  the  American  Consul  at  Venice.  The  last  honour, 
official  recognition  of  his  bravery,  came  on  February  9, 
when  the  Italian  military  authorities  awarded  to  Richard 
Fairfield  the  Medaglia  al  Valore  Militare,  to  be  sent  to  his 
family.  Yet  higher  praise  there  cannot  be  than  the  simple 
message  announcing  his  death  :  "Killed  in  the  execution  of 
his  duty." 

Let  us  not  grieve  for  the  unfulfilled  future  of  the  youngest 
graduate  the  School  has  lost.  Can  we  believe  that  weapons 
forged  by  the  hand  of  man  have  power  to  hurt  the  soul  ?  No  : 
Dick  has  earned  through  service  promotion  to  another  world 
whither  in  God's  good  time  we  too  shall  go.

CALDWELL  COLT  ROBINSON 

Qui  ante  diem  fieriit 
Sed  miles,  sed pro  fiatria. 

The  "ante  diem"  of  Newbolt's  lines  inevitably  comes 
to  mind  as  one  thinks  of  the  death  of  a  man  who  was 
characterized  by  abounding  youthful  fire  and  generosity.  At 
St.  George's,  Robinson  was  a  young  boy  during  his  stay 
and  impressed  all  his  associates  even  then  with  his  brilliant 
mind  and  exuberant  spirits.  It  is  therefore  doubly  pathetic 
to  think  of  the  fine  young  life  given  when  it  was  already 
blossoming  into  a  noble  ardour  and  self-sacrifice  in  away  that 
endeared  him  to  all  his  comrades  and  followers.  Those  who 
knew  him  best  in  time  of  peace  easily  understand  why  his 
eagerness  to  serve  others  brought  him  where  danger  was 
greatest. 

His  war  record  was  a  consistent  progress,  which  began 
with  attendance  at  two  Plattsburg  Camps  in  the  summer 
of  1916.  There  he  was  in  turn  First  Sergeant  and  Lieuten- 
ant, ending  his  training  as  Battalion  Adjutant.  After  the 
United  States  declared  war,  he  accepted  appointment  July 
21, 1917,  as  provisional  Second  Lieutenant  with  rank  from 
July  5,  1917.  His  appointment  was  made  permanent  on  the 
twenty-seventh  of  the  following  month.  On  October  27, 
1917,  he  went  overseas,  and  was  on  detached  duty  with  the 
U.  S.  Army  in  France  from  that  date.  He  took  part  in  the 
actions  of  the  Marines  which  brought  them  such  fame  in  the 
Verdun  Sector,  and  was  killed  in  action  on  June  6,  1918,  in 
the  Bois  de  Belleau,  while  attached  to  Company  I  of  the 
6th  Regiment,  U.  S.  Marines.  His  grave  is  in  the  National 
Cemetery,  Belleau  Wood. 

In  his  death  he  showed  the  qualities  which  had  made  him 
so  beloved  wherever  he  went.  On  perceiving  that  his  com- 

C    37   ] 


ST.  GEORGE'S  SCHOOL 

pany  was  suffering  from  the  fire  from  a  machine  gun  nest, 
Lieutenant  Robinson  attempted  to  capture  the  nest  himself. 
For  this  noble  but  fatal  effort  he  won  the  posthumous  award 
of  the  Distinguished  Service  Cross  on  July  5.  How  highly 
Lieutenant  Robinson  merited  the  award  may  be  seen  from 
the  words  appended  to  the  remarks  of  General  Pershing  in 
awarding  this  high  honour:  "Killed  in  action  at  Chateau- 
Thierry,  June  6th,  1918,  he  gave  the  supreme  proof  of  that 
extraordinary  heroism  which  will  serve  as  an  example  to 
hitherto  untried  troops."  No  less  impressive  are  the  words 
of  one  of  his  men :  "He  sure  deserved  his  cross  and  more 
too.  He  didn't  win  it  by  telling  us  Avhat  to  do,  but  by  show- 
ing us  how  to  do  it."  His  final  gallant  action  came  after  he 
had  experience  of  several  wounds,  and  had  been  gassed 
more  than  once.  With  full  knowledge  of  all  that  war  can 
offer  in  the  way  of  hardship  and  danger,  Lieutenant  Rob- 
inson showed  by  his  high  conception  of  duty  in  the  face  of 
the  enemy  that  the  descendant  of  an  officer  who  helped  our 
country  gain  independence  was  eager  and  able  to  defend  it 
with  self-forgetful  gallantry.

WELLS  BRADLEY  CUMINGS 

The  early  days  of  1918  were  probably  the  most  excit- 
ing, the  most  heavily  fraught  with  interest,  hopes,  and 
fears  that  man  has  as  yet  known.  The  allied  armies  were 
waiting  to  receive  the  onslaught  of  the  German  troops,  and 
the  two  questions  in  the  minds  of  every  one  were — could 
the  allied  troops  hold  and  were  the  American  troops  ready. 
We  at  school  were  finishing  a  busy  and  successful  year.  The 
School  was  imbued  with  a  desire  of  service.  The  Sixth  Form 
had  completed  a  year  of  service  to  the  School  and  of  prep- 
aration for  themselves,  and  was  ready  to  a  boy  to  go  out  to 
play  their  part. 

On  Prize  Day,  1918,  while  the  exercises  were  being  held 
in  Auchincloss  Gymnasium,  word  came  of  the  death  of 
Lieutenant  Robinson.  The  big  German  offensive  was  at  its 
height.  The  American  troops  were  just  beginning  to  make 
their  presence  felt,  and  among  them  were  some  one  hundred 
and  fifty  St.  George's  boys.  Every  one  felt  that,  before  the 
opening  of  another  school  year,  new  losses  would  come  to  us, 
and  that  our  own  roll  of  honour  would  be  lengthened — per- 
haps to  a  great  extent. 

Almost  at  once  the  loss  came,  and  the  next  St.  George's 
boy  to  give  his  life  in  the  great  offensive  of  19 18  was  a  mem- 
ber of  the  class  which,  only  a  few  days  before,  had  grad- 
uated from  school. 

Wells  Bradley  Cumings,  born  July  11,  1899,  in  Brook- 
line,  Massachusetts,  was  the  second  son  of  John  Bradley  and 
Florence  (Thayer)  Cumings.  He  entered  St.  George's  in 
September,  1911,  and,  with  the  exception  of  a  year,  was  a 
member  of  the  School  until  1917.  During  that  time  he  be- 
came a  prominent  and  influential  boy,  endearing  himself  to 
evervone,  boysand  masters  alike,  by  the  strength  andsweet- 

[   89  1 


ST.  GEORGE'S  SCHOOL 

ness  of  his  character,  and  by  his  deep  affection  and  loyalty 
to  his  friends.  His  fineness  of  temperament  revealed  itself  in 
a  passionate  love  of  music,  for  which  he  showed  an  appre- 
ciation extraordinary  in  one  so  young.  He  was  a  brilliant 
athlete,  winning  his  S.  G.  in  both  football  and  baseball. 

At  the  end  of  his  Fifth  Form  year  Wells  left  school  and, 
by  tutoring,  entered  Princeton  with  the  class  of  1921.  For 
a  boy  of  high  spirits,  eager  to  do  his  part  in  the  war,  col- 
lege and  university  life  was  irksome,  so  in  February,  1918, 
he  left  Princeton  and,  together  with  several  friends,  enlisted 
in  the  United  States  Marine  Corps.  A  short  period  of  hard 
training  at  Paris  Island  followed,  and  in  April  the  regiment 
of  which  he  was  a  member,  the  6th  Marines,  sailed  for 
France. 

The  American  Expeditionary  Forces  were  at  that  time 
gathering.  Everything  was  in  confusion,  and  the  men  who 
arrived  early  in  France  were  forced  to  endure  hardships  and 
privations  which  later  were  avoided  when  the  machinery 
began  to  move  more  smoothly.  One  can  feel  only  increased 
sorrow  when  one  thinks  of  a  young  boy,  not  yet  nineteen 
years  old,  leaving  his  country  for  the  first  time,  being  abso- 
lutely cut  off' from  all  his  friends,  to  be  hurled  into  the  mael- 
strom of  the  war.  Everything  seems  to  have  conspired  to 
make  Wells'  life  in  France  harder,  for  after  he  said  good-by 
to  his  mother  in  Washington  he  received  only  one  word 
from  home  and  never  received  any  pay  or  any  of  the  money 
which  was  sent  him.  Nothing  is  more  pathetic  than  the  let- 
ters which  came  back  from  him,  filled  with  cheerful  cour- 
age, speaking  calmly  of  the  discomforts,  and  hoping  that  he 
might  soon  have  word  from  home.  During  those  lonesome 
days  Wells'  character  showed  itself  in  all  its  sweetness  by 
sharingwith  his  less  fortunatecompanions  thesmall  amount 
of  money  that  he  had  taken  with  him,  for  he  had  given  away 

[4o] 


IJV  THE  WAR 

everything  when  he  fell.  A  few  copper  coins,  a  knife,  and  the 
memory  of  a  life  cheerfully  given  to  his  country  are  blessed 
proofs  of  a  noble  soul. 

A  few  weeks  after  the  arrival  of  the  regiment  in  France 
came  the  critical  days  for  the  allied  forces.  The  American 
army  was  called  upon  to  do  its  work  of  stopping  the  Huns' 
advance  on  Paris,  and  the  Second  Division  was  placed  in 
the  region  of  Chateau-Thierry.  The  "Bois  de  Belleau"  is  a 
name  of  glorious  and  tragic  memory  to  the  American  people, 
for  it  was  there  that  the  Marines  did  their  heroic  work  of 
checking  the  Huns  and  turning  their  advance  into  a  retreat. 

On  June  26,  in  the  early  part  of  a  charge,  Wells  fell  mor- 
tally wounded  by  a  piece  of  bursting  shrapnel.  He  was  car- 
ried to  the  rear,  where  he  received  every  possible  attention 
in  dressing  station  and  hospital,  but  after  four  days  of  suffer- 
ing, borne  with  heroic  courage,  he  died  on  June  30.  A  simple 
cross  marks  the  place  where  he  now  lies  beside  the  other 
heroes  of  those  terrific  but  wonderful  days. 

The  life  of  Wells  among  us  has  left  the  memory  of  a 
noble  boy  doing  his  duty  in  the  simple,  natural  ways  which 
brought  him  to  the  supreme  end  with  true  courage  of  mind 
and  spirit,  for  "  —  in  short  measures  life  may  perfect  be," 
and  to  us  who  loved  him  this  is  an  inspiration  as  well  as 
the  comfort  in  our  sorrow.

TOLMAN  DOUGLAS  WHEELER 

"  T  T  e  was  said  to  be  the  bravest  man  in  his  regiment,  and 
JTA  I  know  there  was  none  braver."  So  writes  a  soldier 
friend  of  Tolman  Wheeler,  who  was  fatally  wounded  at  Can- 
tigny  on  August  3 1, 19 18,  and  died  six  days  later.  The  brief 
comment  of  a  comrade  tells  the  story  of  military  service  of 
an  officer  to  whom  gallantry  in  action  was  so  natural  that  it 
was  almost  sure,  in  days  of  heavy  fighting,  to  lead  to  a  fatal 
end. 

Lieutenant  Wheeler,  born  at  Walton,  N.  Y.,  October  2, 
1891,  was  a  member  of  St.  George's  in  the  years  1907  and 
1908.  As  a  boy  he  was  quiet  and  rather  reserved,  so  that 
relatively  few  had  the  privilege  of  knowing  him  intimately. 
He  took  part  in  sports  with  zest  and  showed  the  quiet  cool- 
ness which  characterized  him  later  in  the  really  stern  con- 
test of  battle.  He  entered  Harvard,  and  was  graduated  as 
A.B.  in  1915. 

After  attending  the  first  Plattsburg  Officers'  Training 
Camp  in  May,  1917,  he  was  commissioned  a  First  Lieu- 
tenant in  Troop  F  of  the  Second  U.  S.  Cavalry  in  Septem- 
ber, 1917.  Some  idea  of  his  ability  may  be  gained  from  an 
occasional  sentence  in  letters  from  fellow  officers.  "Tolman 
joined  me  at  Fort  Ethan  Allen.  At  first  I  was  distant  to  him, 
as  I  don't  make  friends  quickly  and  I  wanted  to  be  a  good 
captain  to  a  new  lieutenant  in  the  cavalry  service.  I  contin- 
ually became  more  and  more  friendly.  I  began  to  understand 
him  and  finally  we  became  close  friends.  For  him  I  held  an 
admiration  for  his  audacity  and  courage  and  above  all  his 
faithfulness  in  carrying  out  any  duty  to  the  letter.  I  can  tell 
you  that  at  the  time  he  was  ordered  away  from  the  regiment 
the  Colonel  told  me  that  he  had  developed  into  one  of  the 
best  officers  in  the  regiment.  Coming  to  a  cavalry  outfit  from

IN  THE  WAR 

the  infantry  and  learning  to  ride  the  drill  well  was  a  difficult 
task,  but  he  succeeded  and  developed  into  a  fine  cavalry 
officer." 

Troop  F  went  overseas  in  March,  1918.  Lieutenant 
Wheeler  took  part  in  the  varied  service  of  the  troop,  becom- 
ing Battalion  Adjutant  in  August,  1918.  As  he  was  carried 
on  the  rolls  as  attached  to  the  regiment,  he  was  sent  as  a 
replacement  officer  to  Company  H,  127th  Infantry,  32nd 
Division. 

"I  heard  from  him  and  his  escapes  and  I  knew  he  would 
either  get  home  scot  free  or  else  be  killed.  I  have  talked  with 
men  of  the  32nd  Division.  He  was  held  in  high  esteem  there 
for  his  courage  and  good  sportsmanship.  He  led  an  assault 
at  Cantigny  and  was  wounded  several  times.  He  was  picked 
up  and  taken  to  Base  Hospital  No.  3  in  Paris,  where  he 
died  and  was  buried." 

For  his  braverv  he  was  cited  as  follows:  "First  Lieut. 
Tolman  D.Wheeler  (deceased)  127th  Infantry  (on  detached 
service  from  2nd  U.  S. Cavalry).  For  gallantry  in  action  near 
Juvignv,  France,  30  August,  1918,  in  reconnoitering  the 
battalion  lines  during  an  attack." 

To  the  simple  record  of  Wheeler's  service  the  imagination 
will  readily  supply  the  details  characteristic  of  military  life 
where  supreme  devotion  is  present.  Those  who  knew  only 
the  boy  will  understand  now  more  fully  the  quiet  nature 
which  developed  its  best  qualities  as  the  sternest  challenges 
came.  For  the  bovs  who  see  his  white  star  in  the  school 
service  flag  the  name  of  Tolman  Wheeler  will  be  one  more 
source  of  pride  as  succeeding  school  generations  realize  their 
proud  inheritance.

PHILIP  NEWBOLD  RHINELANDER 

With  lokkes  crulle  as  they  were  laid  in  presse 
And  of  his  stature  he  was  of  even  lengthe ; 
And  wonderlye  de/yz'ere  and  greet  of  strengthe ; 
And  he  had  been  somtyme  in  chyvachie 
In  Flaundres,  in  Artois  and  Pycardie 
And  born  him  well. 

Something  of  the  beauty  and  fair  graceof  Chaucer's  "yong 
Squier"  clings  to  the  memory  of  the  young  hero  whom 
masters  and  graduates  will  recall  as  a  high-spirited  boy  at 
St.  George's,  where  his  shining  eyes  from  under  curling 
locks  early  promised  a  future  full  of  eager  enthusiasm.  Philip 
Newbold  Rhinelander  was  born  on  August  29, 1895,  the  son 
of  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Thomas  N.  Rhinelander.  He  entered  St. 
George's  in  October,  1907,  and  left  in  his  Fourth  Form  year. 
As  a  boy  he  was  of  a  singularly  fine  and  sensitive  nature,  so 
that  he  was  especially  missed  by  those  who  knew  him  well 
when  his  health  made  it  desirable  for  him  to  be  transferred 
to  the  Thacher  School  in  California.  From  that  school  he 
entered  Harvard  as  a  member  of  the  class  of  1917. 

Very  early  in  the  war  he  felt  the  call  of  service  and  began 
to  prepare  himself  for  it.  In  August,  1915,  he  attended  the 
second  Plattsburg  Camp.  As  military  service  was  not  yet 
open  to  Americans,  he  volunteered  as  an  Ambulance  Driver 
in  the  American  Ambulance  Field  Service,  sailing  for  France 
on  July  1,  1916.  For  about  six  months  he  served  in  the  Vos- 
ges,  in  France,  with  Ambulance  Section  9.  Later  he  joined 
Section  10,  which  had  its  headquarters  southwest  of  Lake 
Presba,  in  Eastern  Albania,  and  saw  six  months  more  of  ser- 
vice. He  returned  to  Paris  in  July,  1917.  The  following  ex- 
cerpt from  a  letter  by  Lieutenant  Rhinelander's  father  gives 
a  clear  picture  of  Newbold's  military  career : 

"He  immediately  volunteered  for  our  air  service,  and  be-

gan  his  training  under  French  instructors  at  Tours,  about 
August  23rd,  1917,  receiving  his  brevet  as  a  Pilot  about 
October  31st  following,  and  his  commission  as  First  Lieu- 
tenant in  the  Air  Service  of  the  American  Army  about  a 
month  later.  From  Tours  he  went  to  the  American  camp  at 
Issoudun,  where  he  had  further  training ;  thence  to  a  French 
camp  at  Etampes ;  thence  back  to  Tours,  where  he  spent 
about  three  very  active  months  in  the  training  of  artillery 
observers  ;  thence  to  Clermont-Ferrand,  for  special  training 
in  day-bombing  ;  thence  to  various  camps,  and  after  numer- 
ous delays,  due  to  the  lack  of  planes,  etc.,  he  was  assigned 
to  the  20th  Aero  Squadron,  and  sent  to  the  front  early  in 
September,  1918,  where  the  20th  Squadron,  together  with 
the  11th  and  96th,  were  constituted  the  First  Bombardment 
Group  of  the  First  American  Army,  and  took  part  in  the 
battle  of  St.  Mihiel,  and  later  in  the  Argonne  offensive.  The 
work  of  the  First  Bombardment  Group  in  connection  with 
the  St.  Mihiel  offensive  was  commended  in  a  citation,  which 
included  the  following: 

"'l.  The  work  of  the  1st  Bombardment  Group  during  the 
battle  of  St.  Mihiel,  and  in  the  operations  after  it,  has  been 
such  as  to  bring  out  the  praise  and  appreciation  of  all  the 
troops  and  allied  services  participating  in  the  operations. 
This  Group,  under  most  difficult  conditions,  with  new  equip- 
ment, and  pilots  and  observers  who  had  recently  come  up 
on  the  front,  has  shown  a  devotion  to  duty  and  an  initiative 
which  has  not  been  exceeded  by  any  troops  on  the  front. 
"2.  The  work  of  the  1st  Bombardment  Group  has  mate- 
rially aided  in  hindering  hostile  concentrations  of  troops, 
troop  movements  along  roads,  and  in  sweeping  the  enemy's 
pursuit  aviation  back,  thereby  making  lighter  the  work  of 
our  pursuit  aviation  along  the  immediate  front.

'"  3.  I  desire  that  all  members  of  the  Group  be  informed  of 
the  high  regard  in  which  their  work  is  held  throughout  this 

Army.

"During  the  St.  Mihiel  offensive  and  for  about  a  week 
thereafter,  Newbold  was  assigned,  with  four  other  pilots 
of  the  squadron,  to  special  reconnaissance  duty  for  head- 
quarters at  a  camp  at  Maulan,  to  which  the  rest  of  the 
squadron,  together  with  the  two  other  squadrons  forming 
the  First  Bombardment  Group,  were  ordered  just  before 
the  beginning  of  the  Argonne  offensive.  On  the  first  day  of 
the  Argonne  offensive,  September  26,  1918,  he  took  part  in 
his  first  day -bombing  expedition  within  the  German  lines. 
Four  groups  of  eight  planes  each,  one  from  the  96th,  one 
from  the  1 1th,  and  two  from  the  20th  Squadron, were  ordered 
upon  this  bombing  raid  to  bomb  the  town  of  Dun-sur- 
Meuse.  Plans  for  rendezvous  and  mutual  support  appar- 
ently miscarried,  probably  partly  owing  to  low  hanging 
clouds  when  the  formations  left  the  camp  in  turn.  They  all 
accomplished  their  bombing  mission,  but  did  so  independ- 
ently and  without  support  or  protection.  Newbold's  forma- 
tion was  the  last  to  leave  the  field,  and  saw  nothing  of  the 
others.  By  the  time  it  reached  its  objective,  the  German  pur- 
suit planes  had  evidently  been  fully  warned,  and  almost  im- 
mediately after  the  bombs  were  dropped  the  formation  was 
overwhelmed  by  attacks  of  German  planes,  which  outnum- 
bered it  three  to  one.  This  situation  was  made  much  more 
desperate  by  the  fact  that  the  observer  in  the  leading  plane 
was  killed  almost  at  the  outset  of  the  fight,  and  fell  against 
the  double  control  in  such  a  way  as  to  prevent  the  leading 
pilot  from  turning  home,  and  to  force  him  to  continue  for

more  than  twenty  miles  out  into  German  territory,  where 
the  greater  part  of  the  German  air  force  at  that  part  of  the 
front  seems  to  have  been  concentrated  at  the  time.  The  re- 
sult was  that  out  of  the  eight  planes  only  three  returned, 
and  in  one  of  the  three  — the  leading  plane  —  the  observer 
was  killed. 

"None  of  the  survivors  saw  Newbold  fall,  but  on  Decem- 
ber 27  last,  when  I  found  his  grave  and  that  of  his  ob- 
server, at  the  little  village  of  Murville  (northwest  of  Briey, 
and  some  four  miles  from  Audun  le  Roman,  near  the  Lor- 
raine border),  I  learned  from  French  eye-witnesses  who 
had  seen  the  end  and  had  buried  him  and  his  observer  that 
his  plane  appeared  over  the  village  at  about  1 1  o'clock  on 
the  morning  of  September  26,  fighting  alone  with  five  Ger- 
man pursuit  planes  (Fokkers)  at  an  altitude  so  low  (the 
French  people  estimated  it  as  about  one-sixth  of  the  normal 
height  of  American  bombing  planes)  as  to  indicate  that 
Newbold's  plane  must  have  been  seriously  disabled.  The 
end,  they  said,  came  very  quickly.  The  five  German  planes 
were  attacking  successively  from  below  and  behind  (their 
favourite  point  of  attack,  where  they  were  least  exposed 
to  the  American  guns),  and  finally  there  was  an  explosion 
(apparently  of  the  main  gasoline  tank)  of  the  American 
plane,  which  was  blown  to  pieces,  the  engine  and  propeller 
falling  at  one  point  (I  saw  the  clearly  marked  depression 
in  the  ground  where  they  fell),  and  the  rest  of  the  plane 
some  200  or  300  yards  away,  and  the  two  bodies  between 
the  two." 

From  Captain  Merian  Cooper,  one  of  Lieutenant  Rhine- 
lander's  fellow  officers  in  the  same  squadron,  a  few  facts 
have  been  learned  about  the  fight.  Captain  Cooper  himself 
was  shot  down,  and  was  lying  in  a  German  hospital  when 
a  German  officer  brought  to  him  Newbold's  identification

card,  with  his  photograph  and  signature.  "This  German 
officer  expressed  surprise  that  Newbold  should  have  been 
alone  when  he  was  killed,  and  said  that  he  had  died  fight- 
ing bravely,  against  odds." 

Lieutenant  Rhinelander  was  buried  by  the  German 
officers  who  found  him  near  his  fallen  plane.  Memorial  ser- 
vices were  held  in  New  York  and  Newport,  which  several 
of  his  old  friends  at  school  attended.  As  they  heard  the  sim- 
ple recital  of  the  qualities  he  had  developed  in  his  young 
manhood  they  perceived  that  he  had  early  attained  the  praise 
due  to  one  far  older: 

He  never  yet  no  vileynye  ne  sayde, 
In  al  his  lijfe,  unto  no  maner  wight. 
He  was  a  verray  parfit,  gentil  knyght.

WILLIAM  BOULTON  DIXON 

William  Boulton  Dixon  joined  the  Second  Officers' 
Training  Camp  in  May,  1917,  and  was  sent  to  Fort 
Oglethorpe,  Georgia,  on  August  24.  On  November  27  he 
received  his  commission  as  First  Lieutenant  of  Field  Ar- 
tillery in  the  United  States  Reserve  Corps,  and  was  ordered 
to  Camp  Pike,  Arkansas,  where  the  87th  Division  was  in 
training. 

After  two  or  three  months'  duty  with  a  battery,  he  was 
appointed  to  the  staff  of  Brigadier-General  Richmond  P. 
Davis  of  the  62nd  Field  Artillery  Brigade  and,  a  little  later, 
was  made  his  senior  aide. 

On  August  27,  1918,  Lieutenant  Dixon  went  to  France 
with  the  87th  Division,  but  soon  after  its  arrival  General 
Davis  and  his  aide  were  transferred  to  the  151st  Field  Ar- 
tillery Brigade  of  the  76th  Division. 

On  October  11,  General  Davis  and  part  of  his  staff,  in- 
cluding Lieutenant  Dixon,  who  had  been  made  assistant 
operating  officer,  left  for  the  front  in  advance  of  the  bri- 
gade. On  the  night  of  October  17,  in  the  vicinity  of  Thiau- 
court,  Lieutenant  Dixon  was  killed  by  a  direct  hit  of  an 
enemy  shell  while  on  duty  at  the  post  command  of  a  bat- 
tery of  the  340th  Field  Artillery.  He  was  buried  in  the 
United  States  Cemetery  at  Thiaucourt. 

Bo  Dixon  came  to  St.  George's  in  the  autumn  of  1910  and 
graduated  the  following  June,  remaining  but  one  year  at  the 
school.  It  is  natural,  therefore,  that  his  school  career  did  not 
stand  out  as  clearlv  as  that  of  most  of  his  classmates  who 
had  been  here  for  several  years  before  their  graduation.  As 
a  boy  Bo  was  quiet  and  reserved,  limiting  his  interests  chiefly 
to  his  books,  to  tennis,  and  to  baseball,  in  which  sports  he 
excelled.  He  was  popular  with  his  classmates  and,  through 

[   49   ] 


ST.  GEORGE'S  SCHOOL 

his  refined  and  gentle  nature,  won  the  affection  and  respect 
of  his  teachers. 

On  leaving  school  Bo  went  to  Princeton,  and  graduated 
in  the  class  of  1915.  While  there  he  was  a  member  of  the 
Ivy  Club. 

From  July,  1915,  to  November,  1915,  he  was  in  the  em- 
ploy of  the  Franklin  National  Bank  in  Philadelphia,  later  be- 
coming a  bond  salesman  with  Irvin  &  Company,  Bankers. 

He  married  on  March  4,  1916,  Emily  Markoe  Thayer, 
and  went  to  live  in  Chestnut  Hill,  Philadelphia.  He  had  two 
children,  a  daughter,  Alice  Thayer,  born  November  19, 1916, 
and  a  son,  Thomas  Henry,  II,  born  July  24,  1918. 

It  was  from  such  men  as  this  that  the  younger  officers 
of  our  army  were  largely  recruited  —  men  who  were  often 
too  modest  to  thrust  themselves  forward,  but  who  were 
ready  at  an  instant's  summons  to  respond  to  the  call  of 
duty,  whether  that  duty  was  easy  or  hard.  Little  by  little 
they  had  been  storing  up  that  moral  energy  and  will-power 
which  was  to  stand  them  in  such  good  stead  at  the  hour  of 
supreme  trial. 

Bo  Dixon  made  a  fine  soldier,  and  in  his  death  fulfilled 
his  highest  promise.  Beautiful  and  touching  are  the  words 
of  his  superior  officer,  written  to  his  father  shortly  after  he 
was  killed : 

"I  came  here  (somewhere  in  France)  with  half  a  dozen 
staff  officers  and  we  were  distributed  along  the  front  at 
various  places  not  far  separated.  There  was  considerable 
bombardment  the  night  Bo  was  killed,  —  he,  a  lieutenant 
and  a  corporal  were  killed  instantly  by  a  77  shell,  the  only 
one  which  came  anywhere  near  his  station,  one  other  fell 
about  100  metres  from  a  station  of  another  of  our  party  and 
about  half  an  hour  after  I  left. 

"We  buried  Bo  just  at  sunset  on  the  top  of  a  beautiful

hill —  the  sun  was  setting  and  almost  a  full  moon  just  up, 
an  enemy  airplane  flew  over  very  low  and  a  terrific  bom- 
bardment of  two  squadrons  of  planes  by  our  anti-aircraft 
guns  constituted  the  volley  as  we  laid  the  dear  fellow  to 
rest.  .  .  .  He  had  the  military  instinct  and  the  military  idea 
and  would  have  made  his  mark  had  opportunity  arisen. 

•  ••••••••  • 

"He  was  so  keen  to  be  at  the  front  and  only  the  day  before 
we  had  gone  together  to  the  advanced  line  to  take  a  look, 
and  his  whole  soul  was  in  the  righteousness  of  our  cause. 
Bombardment  more  or  less  was  going  on  all  the  time,  but  it 
did  not  seem  to  us  that  there  was  much  real  danger ;  how- 
ever, his  death  was  not  due  in  any  way  to  unnecessary  or 
careless  exposure — it  was  simply  one  of  these  things  which 
sometimes  happen.  I  have  lost  a  fine  soldier,  and  you  a  fine 
son  and  soldier."

MARQUAND  WARD 

Marqjjand  Ward,  son  of  the  Honourable  Henry  Gal- 
braith  and  Mabel  (Marquand)  Ward,  was  born  in 
New  York,  December  9,  1894.  He  entered  St.  George's 
School  in  October,  1907,  as  a  member  of  the  Second  Form, 
and  graduated  in  1912.  After  a  year  of  travel  and  study  he 
entered  Princeton  University,  but  owing  to  ill  health  was 
unable  to  complete  his  course  with  the  class  of  1917.  He  was 
enlisted  January  5, 19 18,  trained  at  Camp  Dix,went  overseas 
with  the  78th  Division  as  a  private  in  the  312th  Infantry, 
and  was  killed  in  action  at  Talma  Farm,  October  18,  1918. 
Three  lines  from  "The  Quest  of  the  Sangraal"  by  the  Vicar 
of  Morwenstowe  well  describe  the  spirit  of  such  soldiers : 

High  hearted  men :  the  purpose  and  the  theme 
Smote  the  jine  chord  that  thrills  the  Warrior's  Soul 
With  touch  and  impulse  for  a  Deed  of  Fame. 

Marquand,  like  his  brother,  brought  this  sense  of  high  honour 
to  the  school.  It  never  failed  them.  To  the  last  they  made 
us  proud  with  the  brave  fulfilment  of  their  promise.  Mar- 
quand's  most  outstanding  characteristics  were  a  beautiful 
friendliness  which  made  him  a  universal  favourite,  and  a  high 
chivalrous  nature  which  made  it  impossible  for  him  to  seek 
companionship  through  any  lowering  of  his  standards.  But 
so  great  was  his  geniality,  so  ready  his  appreciation  of  the 
best  in  others,  that  his  high  ideals  never  repelled  those  of 
whom  he  could  not  approve.  He  made  the  fine  way  win- 
some. Through  school  and  college  religion  was  for  him  a 
valued  and  genuine  experience  which  he  helped  others  to 
understand.  By  inheritance  of  a  rich  nature  and  by  intimacy 
with  fine  thoughts  and  beautiful  things,  the  "fine  chord"  of 
his  life  made  such  music  for  all  who  knew  him  that  he  was 

[52   ] 


// /t //uia /ia      ( f  an/ 


IN  THE  WAR 

a  gay  companion  for  his  contemporaries  and  an  intelligent 
sharer  of  the  thoughts  of  older  men.  We  looked  for  him  to 
do  so  much  among  "high  hearted  men,"  his  fellows,  through 
years  of  service,  but  the  much  was  done  in  little  time.  Just 
as  the  work  seemed  only  beginning, 

The  strife  was  o'er,  the  battle  done, 
The  victory  of  life  was  won, 
The  song  of  triumph  was  begun. 

Alleluia  ! 

The  story  of  that  victory  is  recorded  in  the  official  citation 
and  in  a  personal  letter  from  a  comrade. 

"Private  Marquand  Ward,  Co.  C,  312th  Infantry,  before 
meeting  death  in  action  at  Talma  Farm  the  18th  October, 
1918,  manifested  a  signal  courage  and  fearlessness,  advanc- 
ing in  the  face  of  a  murderous  machine  gun  fire,  displaying 
to  his  comrades  an  example  of  disdain  of  danger  and  of  in- 
itiative in  attack,  reaching  and  falling  at  the  nearest  point 
to  the  enemy  attained  by  his  company  that  day."  Thus  far 
the  citation.  An  abstract  of  the  letter  follows. 

"Marquand  was  in  C  Company,  in  a  platoon  led  by 
Lieutenant  Albritton.  Our  battalion  was  ordered  to  cross 
the  Aire  River  and  connect  between  the  French  Division 
on  our  left  and  the  remainder  of  our  own  division  on  our 
right.  We  were  the  extreme  left  flank  of  the  First  Army, 
and  our  regiment  was  at  the  time  attacking  Grand-Pre. 
There  were  almost  three  quarters  of  a  mile  between  Grand- 
Pre  and  the  French.  The  distance  was  so  great  that  for 
three  days  one  thin  line  of  men  was  the  only  protection 
over  that  ground.  The  Boche  knew  that  and  continually 
swept  the  area  with  the  most  bitter  machine  gun  fire.  There 
was  almost  no  protection  save  little  holes  hastily  dug,  and 
it  was  certain  death  to  expose  ourselves  in  daylight 

C  53  ] 


ST.  GEORGE'S  SCHOOL 

'The  connection  between  two  platoons  was  lost  at  a  crit- 
ical point  where  it  was  perfectly  possible  for  a  small  body 
of  Germans  to  come  through  and  with  machine  guns  make 
our  position  impossible.  Albritton  set  out  to  bridge  the  open 
space  and  to  place  a  defensive  post  of  two  or  three  men  in 
such  a  position  as  to  keep  connection  between  the  platoons. 
He  did  not  order  Mike  to  go  with  him.  He  knew  it  was  a 
dangerous  risk,  for  machine  guns  were  even  then  making 
it  most  hazardous.  He  asked  for  two  men  to  go  with  him 
and  Mike  went.  The  third  was  a  brave  little  Italian  named 
Napolitan,  who  was  Mike's  devoted  slave. 

'They  had  about  three  hundred  yards  to  go  and  had  to 
skirt  the  nose  of  a  little  hill.  Just  as  they  came  around  the 
hill  a  machine  gun  opened  directly  on  them.  Albritton  was 
leading  with  Mike  about  five  yards  behind  him,  and  Na- 
politan the  same  distance  behind  Mike.  All  three  fell  at 
once.  Mike  was  pierced  by  seven  or  eight  bullets  and  must 
have  died  almost  instantly.  So  intense  was  the  fire  that 
Albritton  lay  there  where  he  fell  for  eighteen  hours  before 
we  could  get  him  to  safety.  Marquand  was  buried  at  a 
little  farm  about  four  hundred  yards  from  where  he  fell, 
a  beautiful  little  spot.  It  is  called  Talma  Farm  and  is  his- 
toric with  our  Division.  He  lies  there  with  other  heroes  who 
fell  in  that  ghastly  ten  days  of  bitter  fighting. 

"Marquand  was  deeply  respected  and  loved  by  his  com- 
rades. With  a  better  education  than  most  of  them,  he  was 
at  once  their  confidant  and  also  their  friend.  They  felt  his 
loss  keenly.  He  died  a  noble  death  and  did  a  noble  piece  of 
work,  did  it  as  though  there  was  nothing  else  he  could  do, 
as  brave  and  heroic  a  deed  as  I  have  ever  seen.  There's 
not  much  to  add,  for  no  eulogies  can  really  do  him  justice 
nor  take  away  the  sorrow  we  feel,  and  yet  I  am  sure  that 
you  who  knew  him  best  cannot  help  but  feel  unbounded

pride  in  the  spirit  of  his  sacrifice.  It  was  not  in  vain.  With- 
out him  and  others  of  his  type  the  events  which  followed 
his  death  could  never  have  happened."

ALEXANDER  RODGERS,  JR. 

/Alexander  Rodgers,  Jr.,  son  of  Colonel  Alexander  and 
jljL  Virginia  (Cameron)  Rodgers,  and  brother  of  James 
Donald  Cameron  Rodgers,  1904,  was  born  in  Washington, 
D.  C,  on  April  23,  1894.  He  came  to  school  in  the  au- 
tumn of  1907  and  graduated  in  1911. 

In  contrast  with  the  fullness  of  his  later  years  Alexander 
Rodgers'  life  at  school  was  uneventful.  Many  of  the  interests 
common  to  most  boys  did  not  appeal  to  him  mentally  or 
physically.  Football,  baseball,  and  the  like  played  little  part 
in  the  routine  of  his  days.  Perhaps  if  he  had  been  more 
robust  these  would  have  elicited  more  attention,  but,  as  it 
was,  he  devoted  himself  almost  exclusively  to  study  and 
reading.  He  was  reticent  and  reserved,  although  ready  in 
word.  Not  many  boys  understood  him,  for  it  was  to  only 
a  few  that  his  nature  could  reveal  itself  at  that  period.  In- 
ability to  throw  himself  into  the  common  activities  of  a 
schoolboy's  life  tended  to  keep  him  apart  and  throw  him 
back  upon  himself.  It  was  natural  enough,  then,  that  he 
should  find  resource  in  his  work  and  reading.  In  the  nar- 
rower limits  of  school  life  he  did  not  come  fully  to  himself 
or  others,  but  at  Harvard  his  nature  ripened,  and  his  quick 
understanding,  alertness  of  mind,  and  keen  insight  into 
people  and  things  won  him  true  and  sympathetic  friend- 
ships. He  was  a  member  of  the  Institute,  the  Iroquois,  the 
Spee,  and  the  Hasty  Pudding  Clubs.  His  point  of  view  be- 
came broader,  and  his  judgment  milder.  He  visited  school 
frequently,  and  was  ever  talking  of  its  future.  At  times  he 
would  speak  of  his  school  days  and  with  unerring  analysis 
count  their  good.  There  are  graduates  whose  school  career 
was  more  spectacular  and  outwardly  more  successful,  but 
no  one  of  these  has  ever  exceeded  the  loyalty  and  affection

which  Rodgers  came  to  feel  for  his  school.  It  is  one  of  his 
triumphs  that  this  is  so.  It  is  a  manifestation  of  a  deeper 
side  that  was  the  real  self,  and  which  was  revealed  for  the 
last  time  on  the  field  of  battle.  He  was  a  soul  with  depths 
unknown  to  many,  depths  that  ever  deepened  with  love  of 
family,  friends,  school,  and  country. 

After  graduating  from  Harvard  in  1916,  he  went  to  the 
Harvard  Law  School,  and  from  there  entered  the  Officers' 
Training  Camp  at  Fort  Meyer,  Virginia,  in  May,  1917.  He 
received  his  commission  as  Second  Lieutenant  in  August, 
and  sailed  on  May  17,  1918.  His  regiment  was  at  first 
brigaded  with  the  English,  and  Rodgers  was  later  detached 
for  training  in  two  different  schools  for  signal  officers.  In 
August  he  was  advanced  to  the  rank  of  First  Lieutenant 
in  the  319th  Infantry,  80th  Division.  This  division  was  in 
reserve  at  St.  Mihiel,  but  was  not  in  action.  Rodgers  took 
part  in  the  attack  on  the  Argonne  which  began  on  Sep- 
tember 25.  During  this  engagement  he  was  gassed,  but 
continued  with  his  men  until  they  were  relieved.  On  Octo- 
ber 17  he  was  taken  to  a  hospital  and  died  of  pneumonia 
on  October  23.  He  is  buried  in  the  cemetery  of  Brizeaux. 

The  accompanying  photograph  is  an  enlargement  of  a 
picture  taken  by  a  French  Corporal  after  a  twenty  hours 
march  in  the  Argonne  in  September.  To  Mrs.  Rodgers 
Alexander's  Colonel  wrote:  "I  must  record  the  fact  that 
a  braver,  more  loyal,  painstaking,  honest,  upright  soldier 
and  patriot  than  Aleck  never  lived."  On  their  return  to 
Camp  Dix,  Rodgers'  men  bore  evidence  to  his  constant 
care  and  thought,  how  he  always  considered  them  first,  no 
matter  how  long  or  hard  the  day  might  have  been.  One  of 
his  sergeants  told  of  Rodgers  going  into  German  territory 
under  heavy  fire,  and  said:  "I  wanted  to  go  with  him,  but 
seems  like  he  thought  more  of  my  life  than  he  did  of  his,

and  he  wouldn't  let  me  go.  We  would  do  anything  for  him, 
because  he  did  all  he  possibly  could  for  us."  He  was  given 
these  two  citations : 

"For  exceptionally  conspicuous  and  meritorious  services 
as  Regimental  Signal  Officer,  319th  Infantry  A.  E.  F." 
"For  distinguished  and  exceptional  gallantry  at  Cunel, 
France,  October  4-12,  1918." 

Such,  then,  was  the  boy  and  the  man  —  more  loyal  to 
the  School  than  most  and  less  loval  than  none.

EDWARD  BARRY  WALL 

Dear  soul, 
Thy  life  was  Heaven's  mirror 
Reflecting  waves  of  light  and  love  to  help,  us  on  our  way. 

Barry  Wall  was  born  on  July  28, 1893,  the  only  child  of 
Edward  Barry  and  Fannie  (Mitchell)  Wall  of  Colum- 
bus, Ohio.  Both  of  his  parents  died  before  he  was  six  months 
old,  but  the  devotion  of  a  grandmother  and  aunt,  as  well  as 
of  others  of  his  family,  created  in  him  the  spirit  of  love  and 
service  which  proved  to  be  the  guiding  principle  of  his  life. 
On  entering  school  in  1906,  he  immediately  threw  himself 
wholeheartedly  into  the  life  about  him.  In  his  quiet,  self- 
effacing  way  he  unconsciously  won  the  admiration  and  affec- 
tion of  all.  He  never  made  an  enemy.  Life  to  him,  even  in 
his  earliest  years,  meant  friendship  and  service.  As  senior 
prefect  his  influence  was  of  the  quiet,  all-pervading  kind 
that  went  deep  into  the  hearts  of  his  schoolmates,  and  estab- 
lished a  surer  foundation  for  those  who  would  succeed  him. 
He  made  no  unnecessary  issues,  but  when  they  came  he 
met  them  with  unswerving  determination  and  frankness. 
He  tried  to  foresee  and  prevent  trouble  rather  than  wait  until 
trouble  matured,  and  his  intentions  were  never  misunder- 
stood or  misconstrued.  He  was  the  most  loved  and  the  most 
respected  senior  prefect  that  the  School  has  ever  known. 
Underlying  all  there  was  a  vital,  spiritual  life  that  governed 
all  his  actions,  and  made  him  charitable  to  all.  He  was  more 
ready  to  forgive  than  to  find  fault.  To  him  this  life  was 
merely  an  incident  in  a  larger  life,  and  in  discounting  the 
dangers  of  flying  he  once  wrote:  "After  all,  it  is  the  spirit  and 
not  the  body  that  counts." On  his  graduation  from  Princeton 
in  1916,  he  was  voted  the  "finest  gentleman"  in  his  class. 
After  graduation  from  college,  Wall  went  out  to  China  to

engage  in  a  year's  teaching,  which  was  partly  scholastic  and 
partly  missionary.  In  this  he  was  unusually  successful,  and 
he  is  still  spoken  of  by  the  Chinese  boys  who  were  in  his 
classes.  Shoemaker,  1912,  who  was  in  China  doing  the  same 
kind  of  work,  has  said  :  "I  always  felt  that  Barry  had  a 
peculiar  sympathy  for  those  in  trouble  or  need.  Out  here 
among  the  Chinese,  who  are  very  responsive  to  people  who 
take  time  to  care  for  them,  he  left  that  impression.  To  those 
who  knew  him  here,  he  endeared  himself  in  the  same  way 
that  he  did  at  home."  There  were  times  when  he  thought  of 
studying  for  the  ministry;  and  upon  receiving  an  invitation 
to  become  a  master  at  school,  he  wrote  a  month  before  his 
death:  "I  wonder  when  the  war  is  over  whether  I  shall  be 
considered  fit  for  a  master.  I  am  more  convinced  than  ever 
before  of  the  importance  of  youth,  and  particularly  of  Amer- 
ican youth,  and  the  prospect  of  being  a  master  appeals  to 
me  very  much." 

On  the  declaration  of  war,  he  returned  to  this  country  and 
enlisted  in  October,  1917.  He  was  sent  to  the  Aeronautical 
School  at  Princeton,  and  from  there  to  Love  Field,  Texas, 
from  which  he  was  commissioned  a  Second  Lieutenant.  For 
a  time  he  was  assigned  to  the  Aviation  School  at  Brooks 
Field,  Texas,  and  on  July  1,  1918,  he  was  ordered  to  Mather 
Field  in  California,  where  he  taught  advanced  flying,  acro- 
batics, and  aerial  gunnery.  He  passed  his  examination  for 
promotion,  and  was  recommended  for  a  First  Lieutenant's 
commission  at  the  time  of  the  declaration  of  the  armistice. 
The  following  letter  was  sent  him  by  Lieutenant-Colonel 
D.  C.  Emmons  the  day  before  his  death :  "Because  of  de- 
mobilization and  early  withdrawal  from  active  service,  I 
desire  to  extend  to  you  an  expression  of  my  appreciation  of 
the  service  which  you  have  rendered  your  government  and 
this  school.  Your  loyalty  and  attention  to  your  duty  as  an 

C   60   ] 


ZJV  THE  WAR 

officer  of  this  post  have  been  most  satisfactory  to  me,  and 
you  are  to  be  commended  for  your  zeal  in  your  work  and 
the  excellent  spirit  you  have  shown  in  giving  your  assist- 
ance to  the  accomplishment  of  the  purpose  for  which  this 
Field  was  established.  That  the  exigencies  of  the  service 
required  the  use  of  your  abilities  here  and,  in  consequence, 
your  desire  for  overseas  duty  was  not  fulfilled,  should  not 
be  considered  in  any  way  derogatory  to  you  as  a  soldier  or 
to  the  aid  which  you  have  rendered  the  government.  I  am 
proud  to  have  been  your  commanding  officer." 

On  December  5  Wall  had  just  finished  instructing  his 
pupils  when  he  went  up  for  a  short  flight  alone.  Another 
instructor  was  flying  at  the  time  at  an  altitude  of  two  thou- 
sand feet,  some  five  hundred  above  Wall.  In  a  few  mo- 
ments the  latter  had  disappeared,  and,  fearing  an  accident, 
the  other  instructor  descended  and  found  his  friend  fifteen 
feet  from  the  broken  plane.  Death  had  been  instantaneous, 
and  careful  investigation  threw  no  light  upon  the  mishap. 
In  the  words  of  one  of  his  fellow-students  at  Love  Field : 
"Barry  Wall  was  the  finest  man  in  camp  and  the  best  in 
the  air ;  he  was  kept  in  this  country  because  of  his  skill  in 
flying,  his  ability  and  patience  as  a  teacher,  and  his  influence 
over  men."  He  was  buried  with  military  honours  in  Colum- 
bus, on  December  12. 

The  loss  of  Barry  Wall  is  a  loss  to  the  world.  Latent 
powers  were  reaching  their  fulfillment.  With  his  charm  and 
his  nobility  of  soul  he  seemed  destined  to  win  men  to  better 
ways.  Many  tributes  have  been  paid  his  memory,  but  no 
words  finer  than  those  of  the  poem  written  In  Memoriam  by 
Lieutenant  William  A.  Adams,  Jr.,  for  the  paper  printed 
at  Mather  Field.

The  poet  has  not  sung  a  sweeter  song 

Than  thou  hast  lived. 

0  winged  knight  of  chivalry, 

Thy  spirit  soars  afar 
In  Heaven  of  eternity, 

Where  numbered  as  a  star 
It  gives  forever  hallowed  light 

Of  Love  and  Truth  to  guide 
Some  erring  friend  to  God  through  night 

Of  death  and  darkness1  tide. 

When  world  was  threatened  by  the  pagan  sword 
And  Hate  stalked  on  the  battlefield  among 
The  nations'  countless  slain,  whose  bodies,  gored 
And  bleeding  on  the  soil  of  Freedom,  -wrung 
The  hearts  of  men  in  pity  and  in  shame, 
Tfiy  spirit  swift  responded  to  the  call 

Of  country's  honour,  and  aflame 

With  righteous  anger  offered  all 

Thy  life  held  dearest  in  the  name 

Of  Liberty.  And  when  the  fall 
Of  Freedom's  frst  defeat  brought  night 
Of  darkness  and  despair,  the  light 
Of  faith  victorious  burned  bright 
In  all  thy  words  and  deeds  and  gave 
New  strength  to  every  comrade  brave 

To  carry  on  the  fght. 

He  does  not  die  in  vain 
Whose  dying  deeds  attain 
A  victory  for  truth. 

The  springtime  brings  the  flower 

We  love  and  cherish; 
With  winter  comes  the  power 

Of  death's  relentless  hand.

IJV  THE  WAR 

Nor  can  we  understand 

The  hidden  reason 

For  the  season 

Of  death  and  sorrow, 
Why  Love  and  Beauty  live  to  wait 

The  coming  of  the  morrow 

When  they  must  perish 
At  the  call  of  Fate. 

Though  what  we  live  to  love  and  cherish 

We  also  live  to  see  soon  perish, 

What  price  can  match  the  evanescent  flower 

Whose  fragrant  beauty  charms  the  passing  hour  P 

We  are  not  certain  whether  we  admired 

Or  loved  thee  more.  We  know  that  we  aspired 

To  emulate  thy  character,  and  came 

Thereby  to  realize  thy  worth  and  claim 

For  thee  the  honoured  place  deserved  among 

Thy  many  friends.  The  poet  has  not  sung 

A  sweeter  song  than  thou  hast  lived.  As  men 

We  say  these  things  in  unaffected  praise. 

As  men  whose  hearts  were  touched  so  deeply  when 

Thy  soul  departed  to  the  pathless  ways 

Of  distant  stars.  We  loved  thee  for  thy  kind 

And  gentle  spirit,  always  first  toflnd 

Sweet  ministration  for  thy  friend  in  need ; 

For  inspired  thought  that  disregarded  creeds 

And  race,  and  sect;  for  thy  unselfishness 

Of  heart,  that  only  knew  to  give  and  bless  ; 

For  courage  of  soul  that  brooked  no  compromise, 

And  idealistic  conduct,  free  from  ties 

Of  sought  reward.  Thy  life  you  spoke  of  to 

Tin/  friends,  idealism  manifest,  was  true 

Exemplified,  nor  did  you  deviate

From  speech  in  deed, — and  how  Jew  men  translate

From  realms  afar.

GALBRAITH  WARD 

Galbraith  Ward,  son  of  the  Honourable  Henry  Gal- 
braith  and  Mabel  (Marquand)  Ward,  was  born  in 
New  York,  August  9,  1892.  He  entered  St.  George's  School 
in  October,  1907,  as  a  member  of  the  Third  Form,  and  at 
the  end  of  his  Fifth  Form  year  in  1910  left  to  complete  his 
preparation  for  college  with  a  tutor.  The  following  year  he 
entered  Princeton  University,  and  graduated  in  1915.  After 
spending  a  year  in  business  in  New  York  he  joined  the 
American  Field  Ambulance  in  France,  and  was  with  them 
from  November  28,  1916,  to  June  9,  1917.  Returning  to 
America  for  military  training,  he  was  for  a  time  at  Platts- 
burg  and  later  at  Camp  Upton.  He  went  to  France  with 
the  77th  Division  in  the  spring  of  1918,  was  made  corporal 
in  April,  and  later  promoted  sergeant  in  the  306th  Infan- 
try, Company  M.  After  hard  service  in  the  Argonne  and 
great  exposure,  he  fell  a  victim  to  pneumonia  and  died  at 
Chateauvillain,  December  17,  1918. 

Galbraith  came  to  St.  George's  bearing  the  best  Ameri- 
can tradition  and  inheritance,  intellectual,  aesthetic,  moral, 
together  with  that  strong  but  unobtrusive  religious  sense 
which  gives  those  great,  but  still  secondary,  aspects  of 
character  their  permanence  and  value.  Though  never  tak- 
ing high  rank  as  a  scholar,  he  brought  to  all  his  work  a 
seriousness  of  purpose  and  a  chivalric  sense  of  obligation 
which  made  all  that  he  learned  count  for  life.  In  the  de- 
partment of  English,  however,  he  displayed  unusual  appre- 
ciation and  that  industry  which  comes  from  genuine  in- 
terest. He  read  the  best  books  and  wrote  constantly  for  the 
Dragon,  his  work  showing  invention,  a  feeling  for  style, 
and  the  nice  choice  of  words  of  a  literary  artist,  gifts  which 
he  further  developed  in  his  university  course  at  Princeton. 

c  65 : 


ST.  GEORGE'S  SCHOOL 

While  still  in  the  Fifth  Form  he  was  awarded  the  Logan 
prize  for  English,  a  prize  given  not  only  for  excellence  in 
composition  but  even  more  for  mature,  intelligent  apprecia- 
tion of  literature.  Quiet  and  reserved  in  manner,  he  yet  won 
the  friendship  of  many  and  the  respect  of  all,  and  by  his 
high  example  contributed  greatly  to  strengthening  all  that 
is  best  in  the  school  type  then  in  its  formative  stage.  The 
School  owes  him  that  unmeasured  debt  which  is  due  to  char- 
acter alone. 

When  his  career  was  interrupted  by  the  World  War, 
his  sense  of  duty  and  service  led  him  to  volunteer  for  work 
abroad  in  the  ambulance  corps.  When  the  shadow  of  war 
became  a  reality  for  his  own  country,  he  returned  to  enter 
the  army.  Training  for  a  time  at  Plattsburg,  he  became  con- 
vinced that  his  best  work  would  not  be  done  as  an  officer, 
which  conviction  he  stoutly  maintained  to  the  end,  though 
it  was  not  shared  by  his  superiors  in  the  training  camp  or 
in  active  service.  They  knew  the  value  of  his  quality  in  an 
officer.  But  he  followed  his  own  vision,  and  would  have  been 
more  than  content  to  remain  a  private  instead  of  being  pro- 
moted corporal  and  sergeant. 

How  well  he  fulfilled  his  duty  can  best  be  told  in  the 
words  of  Major  Freeman,  who  was  his  company  com- 
mander at  Camp  Upton,  on  the  British  front,  and  in  the 
Lorraine  sector. 

"When  I  became  battalion  commander," he  writes, "Gal- 
braith  was  chief  of  the  battalion  intelligence  and  scouting 
organization,  which  position  he  held  on  the  Vesle  and  the 
Aisne  and  all  through  the  Argonne  fight,  and  the  fight  to 
the  Meuse.  Admired  and  respected  by  men  and  officers 
alike,  he  was  quiet,  modest,  and  unassuming;  capable  and 
trustworthy ;  and  utterly  fearless.  Fear  was  not  a  part  of 
him,  even  when  death  in  battle  seemed  very,  very  near. 

C  66  ] 


IX  THE  WAR 

"He  gave  the  best  that  was  in  him;  he  gave  more, 
because  the  terrific  strain  of  the  Argonne  had  completely 
undermined  his  health  and  still  he  kept  on  until  our  work 
was  done,  when  the  doctor  ordered  him  to  the  hospital 
where  he  died. 

"He  was  fine  and  clean,  and  I'm  sorry,  very  sorry,  that 
he  has  gone.  What  can  we  say  about  those  who  have  died 
that  peace  and  liberty  might  live?  The  story  of  their  sac- 
rifice is  far  too  sacred  for  me  to  touch  upon ;  even  though 
I  've  seen  many  make  the  most  supreme.  But  in  all  cases 
they  leave  their  message:  'This  thing  must  not  happen 
again.' And  so  we  took  up  their  quarrel,  and  now  —  we  have 
not  broken  faith  with  those  who  died  —  and  that  thing 
shall  not  happen  again." 

An  instance  of  his  courage  is  recorded  in  General  Orders 
No.  24 : 

"Sergeant  Galbraith  Ward,  Company  M  (deceased). 
While  leading  a  detachment  through  a  heavily  wooded 
swamp  between  Theorgnes  and  Hardcourt,  this  soldier 
showed  an  utter  disregard  for  his  own  safety  in  directing 
and  helping  the  men  under  him  to  find  shelter  and  then 
walked  100  yards  through  shell  fire  to  the  rescue  of  a  soldier 
of  the  304th  Regiment  who  had  been  severely  wrounded, 
bringing  him  to  a  place  of  safety." 

To  this  may  be  added  the  tribute  paid  to  Galbraith  and 
his  brother  Marquand  by  a  St.  George's  master : 

'The  lesson  of  the  lives  of  these  two  boys  will  surely  not 
go  unheeded.  Their  willing  sacrifice  will  stand  forth  as  an 
inspiring  example  of  patriotic  devotion  to  duty  so  long  as 
St.  George's  school  shall  last.  They  wrere  gentle  and  loved 
the  ways  of  peace.  They  were  not  physically  very  strong. 
But  because  they  loved  righteousness  and  all  that  makes 
life  sweet  and  hated  wrong,  thev  revolted  against  the  mon- 

C   67  ] 


ST.  GEORGE'S  SCHOOL 

strous  acts  and  teachings  of  the  Germans  and  gladly  gave 
their  lives  for  the  cause  in  which  they  so  passionately  be- 
lieved. If  we  are  now  to  enjoy  the  fruits  of  victory,  if  the 
conditions  for  making  the  world  a  happier  place  for  all  to 
live  in  are  at  hand,  we  owe  it  to  these  our  boys  who  have 
fought  the  good  fight  and  in  death  have  won  all.  Their  mon- 
ument is  eternal.  It  remains  for  us  to  prove  our  right  to  the 
sacrifice."

NORMAN  JESSE  MERRILL 

Norman  Merrill  was  born  in  Somerville,  Massachu- 
setts, on  November  23, 1890.  He  was  graduated  from 
the  Somerville  High  School  in  1908  and  from  the  Berkeley 
Preparatory  in  1910.  He  then  entered  Colby  College  and  be- 
came a  member  of  the  Phi  Delta  Theta  fraternity.  His  inter- 
ests were  many  and  varied.  As  an  aid  to  the  financial  side  of 
his  college  course,  he  was  manager  of  two  dining  clubs  con- 
nected with  the  college.  The  Colby  Oracle  said  of  him : 

"Those  who  have  the  most  to  do  can  always  find  the  time 
to  do  the  most.  No  other  man  in  college  ever  had  so  many 
things  to  do  all  at  the  same  time."  He  was  president  of  the 
Massachusetts  Club  and  a  member  of  the  executive  coun- 
cil of  the  N.  E.  I.  A.  A.  For  three  years  he  alternated  at  half- 
back and  quarter-back  on  the  varsity  eleven  and  was  one 
of  the  best  defensive  players  that  ever  represented  the  col- 
lege. In  addition  to  his  football  interests  he  added  track  and 
basketball,  and  was  manager  of  the  former  for  two  years. 
His  life  was  always  very  full.  He  overflowed  with  enthusi- 
asm and  energy  and  was  held  in  great  esteem  by  his  class- 
mates. He  was  on  the  most  friendly  terms  with  the  presi- 
dent, to  whom  his  sincerity  made  a  strong  appeal,  and  this 
friendship  was  continued  after  his  graduation  in  1914.  In 
the  autumn  of  that  year  he  came  to  school  as  Master  in  Sci- 
ence and  coach  of  the  football  and  basketball  teams.  Poor 
material  for  an  eleven  faced  him  in  his  first  year,  but  his 
ability  as  a  coach  was  proved  in  the  following  autumn  when 
he  developed  a  winning  team.  In  the  winters  he  organized 
basketball  more  highly  than  ever  before,  and  through  his 
unusual  capacity  for  organization  more  boys  took  part  in 
that  game  than  at  any  time  in  the  history  of  the  school.  Scho- 
lastically,  he  taught  mathematics  and  chemistry.

ST.  GEORGE'S  SCHOOL 

Then  came  October,  1917.  The  writer  recalls  very  viv- 
idly the  mental  struggle  that  had  faced  Mr.  Merrill  in  the 
spring  after  the  outbreak  of  war.  Patriotism  and  loyalty  to 
the  School  at  a  difficult  time  found  him  trying  to  determine 
whether  he  should  go  to  an  Officers'  Training  Camp  in  the 
summer,  or  wait  until  Washington  should  call  him.  Devo- 
tion to  his  work  at  school  and  the  belief  that  at  that  time 
the  call  to  arms  for  teachers  was  not  vitally  imperative  led 
him  to  put  aside  the  chance  for  military  advancement,  and 
so  he  returned  to  serve  at  school  until  the  time  when  his 
country  should  judge  that  he  was  needed.  This  decision  was 
very  characteristic.  He  never  thought  of  himself;  he  was 
willing  to  go  when  it  seemed  necessary  ;  but  he  was  willing 
to  sacrifice  himself  for  the  good  of  the  School.  In  the  two 
years  that  he  was  here,  he  gave  of  himself  freely.  As  a  coach 
he  was  successful  because  of  his  knowledge  of  the  games 
and  also  because  of  his  enthusiasm  and  patience.  The  boys 
responded  to  him  readily,  and  sought  him  not  only  as  a  coach 
but  as  a  friend.  Lights  in  his  room  frequently  meant  that 
boys  were  there  to  ask  his  advice.  He  was  untiring  in  every- 
thing he  attempted, and  was  respected  for  his  kindliness  and 
sincerity.  He  placed  friendship  on  a  very  high  plane.  He  left 
behind  him  an  ideal  for  devotion  and  loyalty,  and  a  greater 
understanding  of  what  true  friendship  may  mean. 

The  details  of  his  military  career  are  published  in  another 
part  of  this  book.  It  is  interesting  to  read  in  the  official  state- 
ment that  a  breakdown  came  as  a  result  of  overwork.  Those 
who  know  of  his  untiring  efforts  here  at  school  will  real- 
ize that  he  had  taken  away  with  him  the  same  qualities  of 
giving  that  had  characterized  his  work  at  St.  George's.  He 
wrote  frankly  of  his  keen  disappointment  when  the  medi- 
cal examination  just  before  sailing  found  him  unfit  for  for- 
eign duty.  He  refused  a  discharge,  and  continued  in  the  ser-

vice  as  an  instructor  in  the  S.  A.  T.  C.  at  the  University  of 
Michigan.  He  was  finally  forced  to  enter  the  hospital  at  Fort 
Wayne  in  January,  1919,  and  died  there  of  acute  nephritis 
on  February  7.  The  funeral  was  held  in  his  own  home  in 
Somerville,  and  he  was  buried  with  military  honours.

men  in  service  of  62  per  cent.  When  one  deducts  the  49 
men  who  were  in  the  various  branches  of  the  Student 
Training  Corps  and  were,  therefore,  not  eligible  for  com- 
missions, the  proportion  is  slightly  over  74  per  cent,  or
